Folder Options
This is an overview of the folder options available, as this screen
has changed quite a lot in the past!
General Options
Directory Mirroring
QuickPlay offers the ability to configure a Quickplay-folder
to mirror a folder on your hard-disk. This means that
if you regularly download new ROMs, instead of constantly
going to the 'Scan Roms' method, you can configure your
mirror directory and with the click of a button Quickplay
will make sure its data accurately reflects the files
in your hard disk folders! To set up this extremely useful
feature, simply create a directory as shown above. Now
click on that directory, and then press the 'Folder Options'
button just above the folder listing. A new dialog will
open which contains a lot of options. Go to the 'Directory
Mirroring' panel, and click the check box. This will activate
all the options, now all you need to do is select the
directory on your drive you want to mirror, select the
default emulator, and a default filter search string (*.zip
is the default), and then press OK. Now to mirror the
directory press the 'Re-scan directory' button on the
toolbar. Your ROM listings will then fill up! If you ever
want to rescan, simply select the folder you want to rescan
and press the 'rescan' button. Its as simple as that.
Media Files
By adding in directories you enable Quickplay to search
for media files (images, video etc) which is related to
your ROM. At the minute the only files returned have to
have the same name as your ROM, but with a different extension.

Background Image
By enabling this checkbox and selecting an image file
you can specify a background for the ROM listings. Best
of all it shouldn't slow down the loading times by that
much. You can download backgrounds from the Quickplay
homepage
Folder Listing Icon
If you want a particular folder in the tree to have a
different icon (instead of the icon of a folder), enable
the checkbox and then select the icon you want to use.
If you want to add your own icons, simply close this form,
and copy your icons into the 'icons' folder in directory
you installed Quickplay to.
Real Icons
See this page for information regarding this
feature.
