Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop/issues/240

I tried a little back and forth, but to no avail, how to structure games I have for mulitple OS's.
Lets say I want to add BZFlag to it. There's a macOS, Linux and Windows version.
How do I have to organize the files, to make drop recognize that I have multiple versions for each OS?

Currently it seems I can't add the game for each OS.

Any ideas?

You create separate versions and import them as different platforms.

Just to expand on that, take this structure from the docs:

You'd have a single game, "BZFlag", and then a subfolder for each platform's version. You can then import them separately, and specify the platform with each.

Can now import the same files for multiple versions in v0.4.0 onwards.
