Comment (by chrisis123):

 Replying to [comment:2 sev-]:
 > The problem here is with UI/UX. How do you anticipate users would
 indicate which games they want to "mass add"? If you say, "If they sit in
 the same directory," that will not work because many games, like
 multilingual ones, report multiple game versions in such cases.
 I'm no UX designer nor a programmer so I have no idea how hard it would be
 to implement, but one example where I would want to remove the games
 before accepting is: I have the game Europa Universalis 2 on GOG which is
 obviously completely out of scope for ScummVM but for some reason
 something in random subdirectories of this game triggers as "Quest Game"
 and Mass add ends up with multiple Quest Games that are obviously not
 playble...

 However the GUI already allows to select games with the mouse but it's not
 possible to do anything whith this - so I wonder if maybe it would just be
 possible to add next to the "OK" and the "Cancel" button something like
 "Remove" so it removes the selected game (be it a false positive or an
 unwanted language version) before hitting OK.
