Change default Image Folder - Panarchy - 09-15-2020
is there a way to change the default iso image folder with a script?

ISO images can be anywhere on the DATA partition, in any folder or all folders. VENTOY digs them out and displays them accordingly.

I keep ALL my ISOs in a folder on the 1st partition named "/BOOTISOS" since starting use of VENTOY!
Reason: ALL my ISO are centrally located and easily spotted in my search. AND, I also use a bootmanager ISO SuperGRUB2 that finds ISOs in that folder as well. Thus BOTH VENTOY and SuperGRUB2 finds and list ISOs for booting!
You are free to make your own choice.

I named mine "Catalog".
{
"control": [
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_SEARCH_ROOT": "/ISO" },
]
}
I have seen it mentioned that some would like to boot from iso not on the usb device but instead from a computers folder but not sure if it was ever accomplished. Maybe another global control plugin can be added in the future such as "VTOY_DEFAULT_SEARCH_LOCAL_ROOT" with another starting prefix like true / or current one expanded somehow to allow specifiying a folder like /sda7/manjaro/Desktop/ventoyisofolder?
