Suggestion: Support for symbolic linked folders tool

[Lazorne]

Dual roms folders: Right now you can only choose to install the ROMS folder either on the SDcard or internal SSD. I think we need an option for both at the same time. Since there is a risk you are running out of space on one this would allow you to more storage space to utilize. If you manually create the opposite roms folder from the installation, RetroDECK crashes.

Symbolic linked folders: I have tried to put roms in another folder and symbolic link that folder into the corresponding roms folder. That does not work and it crashes RetroDECK. How ever if you symbolic link the individual roms into the corresponding roms folder it works. If this can be fixed it would allow users more freedom on where to put their roms.

Example:

• PS2Game.iso in /home/ps2games/ symbolic linked into mnt/exteralSD/retrodeck/roms/ps2/link - works
• /home/ps2games/ symbolic linked folder into mnt/exteralSD/retrodeck/roms/ps2/link - does not work

Need to develop a new tool

[XargonWan]

The only thing that comes to my mind is mergerfs where the roms directory can be a merged mount of retrodeck/.roms, /media/.../roms, /somewhere/else/roms and so on.

However this may be asking root rights.

All we need to do is create GUI tools for the creation of Symlinks and we add them as subfolders instead.

So roms/psx/ SUBFOLDER Symlink Creation TOOLS

Then we don't mess with anything within ES-DE and it is not that complicated.
