    I've created sub-folders by franchise (i.e. Mario, Zelda, etc) I was wondering if it's possible to add icons to the folders? so instead of dead space it shows say the Zelda logo

      Sure. First, highlight the folder and press 'select'. Then, select the option for editing meta data. From there, you should see an entry field for an image. Just type out the full path to the image and then save the changes.

        I tried that but when I tried to edit the meta data it only showed 4 boxes (first folder name, the rest blank) with no direction to whats for what.

        However I managed to edit the gamelist data and get it working!

          Nice. that's always a better option in my book anyway.

            FYI for anyone browsing this in the future The first line of those 4 blank ones is the name of the folder, the second is the description, the third is the link to a thumbnail and I have no clue what the fourth one is. Might be worth adding this as a bug in the github though! The devs may be unaware that editing the meta data on a folder is not populating the fields like it should!
