Re: How to add multiple folder at once
There's no way to select more than one folder and there's nothing we can do about it, the limitation is within the Java component used. You can however edit UMS.conf manually (while UMS is not running) and add all the folders you like. The settings is called "folders". It's a comma separated string, and if your paths use backslash (Windows) you's need to escape them with another - so one backslash is written "\\".
The easiest is to add a couple of folders from the GUI, quit UMS and then edit the file. Then you see how it's supposed to be formatted. UMS.conf can be found in your profile folder, which is in "%programfiles%\UMS" by default on Windows.

Hi Nadahar,
Thanks that worked. I'm running Windows 10 I found my UMS.conf file in my programdata\UMS folder. Either way It worked. I had to create a little script to loop through my parent folder and grab the folder names of every child folder and separate them by the format UMS specifies into a single string.
Thank you so much
