Comment (by i30817):

 Btw, I realized I can do this in the cmd line with --add and --path for
 each game in a top dir.

 {{{
 find /media/i3/Mordred/games/ScummVM/ -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d
 -exec scummvm -a -p"{}" \;
 }}}
 complete path name of the containing dir, limit the depth so the current
 dir and the grandchildren dir don't count, limit it to dirs (if there was
 a stray file although this doesn't matter too much) and add it. Optionally
 you can use >> log.txt before "\;" to debug which dirs aren't being added
 and why (in my case I had some repeated game dirs, and some not yet
 supported game dirs).



 I also realized what's different about this so that it doesn't introduce
 (as many) "unknown engine game" entries.





 The gui mass add adds those entries as (for instance, paraphrasing)
 "unknown Ags game" and map key "unknowagsgame-1" etc.

 The cmd line adds such a game the first time, and then it starts adding
 them with the actual game name in spite of being a unknown checksum
 (because there already is a engine name with the same map key name and it
 doesn't add the suffix).

 Needless to say, I prefer the cmd line behaviour. Less things to fix
 after.
