Please, add possibility to add folders for scanning of games/apps.

Not the most important feature, but I guess you'll have to wait until the main emulator becomes stable for the devs to start working on additional features like the one you mentioned.

Ok so currently shadPS4 have a option to refresh the current directory to show any new game added into the selected folder, the option itself is this one image

Whenever you click this option after adding the new game in the folder it will reload the list (as expected) So, could you specify more what exactly you want on this issue? or even if this is something that's already implemented.

Multiple folders to scan games or elfs. Not only one. Or I can choose root folder(i.e. whole HDD) and scan it?

Oh i see, I like the first option, it reminds me how FL Studio (DAW Software) works on reading folders, I will take a look on that option, let me know if there's anything else you think that would be worth to add :)

One thing I have noticed is, shadPS4 does not recognize games that do not have the param.sfo (probably for good reason), but it would be nice to have the option to create "dummy" games based on the folder name if no param.sfo is found.

I could probably add support for that if this is okay with the developers intentions.
