i have some vn projects but beside them i have a large quantity of quick test playgrounds, some codes from a cookbook and some vn made by others with interesting code to study. Right now i'm trying to sort them by adding prefixes to project name, and it looks like total mess. what i need is to place them on separate directories, and some easy way to switch between them, but right now for this switch i need to go to pref and browse each time, which is not too comfortable. so is there any way to make it easier? can we tweak the renpy launcher itself? multiple launchers will also do if trick them to use individual appdata to each of them.
Thanks!
(solved)is there any way handling multiple project directories?

Re: is there any way handling multiple project directories?
I think that is something you would have to ask Tom directly about (whether through PM here, through Discord or maybe even GitHub)
I've often thought the same, how it would be nice to just have a Project-Root folder chosen and have the launcher show Sub-Folders and actual Game-Projects inside those. (I've got maybe 40 projects in my launcher list, prefixed with short terms to order them)

There is.
https://www.renpy.org/dev-doc/html/changelog.html#id19When a file named projects.txt is present in the projects directory, it is expected to contain a list of full paths to directories, one per line. Those paths are treated as projects and displayed in the launcher.

It turns out the launcher itself can be easily modified. To do so just go inside (renpy)/launcher/game , modify rpy's inside and restart launcher. So after some digging into launcher code, made a tweak which is crude, yet does the job! In attachment below.
Thanks for inspiration, guys! =)
