Move from HDD/NAS to SSD? - Kilowatt - 05-02-2020

Is it possible to "install" games on Playnite by moving them to the SSD?. 

It would be nice to have my collection stored in a mechanical HDD or even a NFS from a NAS, and move it to the main SSD storage when you want to play without having to manually migrate the game folder.

If you want to move games installed via 3rd party client (Steam, Origin etc.), then you have to move them via those clients.

As far as manually added games, I'm not necessarily against adding option to move game directory, but I have currently no plans to implement it myself in near future.

Thank you for the answer. Yes I was talking mostly about manually added games, since steam already has the option to move between install folders, even though an all-in-one solution would be nice.

I understand this feature is not a priority, thank you all anyway for your work in Playnite, its a neat pice of software.
