#62 mass-add IPS files
Hi,
I think your front end is one of the best out there, as it has many functions that many others do not.
The one that I enjoy the most is the .ips file functionality for playing game hacks, which I think is the best out there, I would like to request, if possible to be able to add a bund of .ips files or a folder containing all of them instead of having to add 1 at a time. For games like Super Metroid or Super Mario World which have literally hundreds of hacks it's kind of tedious to do it one by one.
Again, many thanks for all your work and hope to see this project to continue to move forward.
Best Regards.

To give more details to this request.
In Quick Play, I think there are 3 ways to use IPS files, all are accesible after right clicking the rom that has already been added, in this example, I'll use Super Metroid:
You can patch your file and create a new patched rom, which I never use and is not related to this request, or you can link and IPS file to a rom, and this is the one I think it could be upgraded if possible. So when you select this option, you will be prompted to name it (which can be left blank) and then select the path of the ips to be used, sadly you can only select a single IPS file:
There is an additional and more comprehensive IPS manager menu already present when you go to rom properties, sadly, when you click on the Add IPS option you get the same prompt and you are only able to link one IPS file at a time:
In short I think since you are only creating a link to the IPS file, it would be great if it was possible to add a folder or multi select a bunch of IPS files on a single prompt. In this case I have 40+ rom hacks and it is really tedious to add one by one.
This is a nice to have, and hope it won't take too much of your time.
Again, thank you so much for creating such an amazing front end.
