Is there any way to automatically create a playlist of an entire folder?

Hello! I’ve recently been using Lakka on my ancient laptop, to give it some purpose in life, and I’ve found it’s been running wonderfully. I’ve been amassing quite a large collection of games. For example, my PS1 folder has 297 individual .cue files. I’ve run into a few problems, though, where many games are simply not recognized by the automatic playlist generator. 57 of them, to be exact.

So, what I wanna know is, instead of manually adding 57 new entries to the playlist file, is there a way I can tell a playlist generator to scan a directory, pull the titles of every .cue file, and then make each of those files an entry in the playlist?

In other words, can I have the playlist generator scan a directory and automatically add every item in that directory, filtered by file type?

I checked these against the archive.org ReDump PS1 set, which I was informed is apparently where the PS1 playlist comes from. Is there a way I can contribute to the project so that the playlist generator won’t miss these ReDump files?

You can check out the libretro-database repo on github to see about contributing:

Other than that, there are some scripts and utilities floating around the forum that will do a “dumb” scan, that is without linking the files to metadata for thumbnails etc. but it will at least get them into a playlist.

Alright, thank you very much. I’ll see what I can do about contributing,
