Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop/issues/14

Since this is early days for Drop, I find myself, deleting the database and starting over again when I encouter bugs. I have a large library I'd like to add to Drop, but right now, it takes way too long and needs user interaction. I'm currently getting a bug that stops games from being added unless there is a subdirectory, the wiki recommends using versions, but should we really have to create a 'v1' subdirectory for a large already exisiting library ?

Maybe I'm doing this wrong, I'm not sure how else to bulk import.

Can we get a more automated/Bulk Add, feature ?

Ideally, Give Drop a directory with content, offer the user: Always select first match, if not, ask the user at the end to select the correct match/EXE.

Bulk import is definitely something we want to add.

I'm not sure what you mean about a bug that requires a subdirectory. That's the required library structure?

I think I just misunderstood the wiki, I read it as, you can either use "Library/GameDirectory/" or you can use "Library/GameDirectory/Version/".

It's just a pain when you already have a large library, as of now you'll have to create subdirectories in every folder just to get Drop to import them.

Cheers.

How do you handle different versions in this library? I wouldn't mind adding different library layouts, but I'd like them to support key Drop features.

@DecDuck commented on GitHub (Aug 1, 2025):

We added a "Bulk import mode" that lets you do a lot of games in quick succession. Automatic version importing is going to be library source-specific, but should be possible.

Closing for now, as we'll make separate issues for each library source.
