I added a workaround for this to Games Size Calculator for PS3 ROMs but I can add Xbox ones too. I just want to get as many of these in one update as possible. Any other ROM types that typically are just folders full of files rather than a single file?

naomi/flycast as well

That's just one file which will get its size correctly counted by Playnite by default

but the chd is necessary to play the game as well. The zip is a different file

[Epsilon99s]

Probably not exactly on topic but can the size be calculated if the link to a rom file is in Actions tab in "Emulator Arguments" field instead of Installation tab? It's just one game might have tons of versions on different systems and you can't have those roms in Installation tab so you have to go with custom arguments for each emulator. Would be great to be able to calculate the size of them all.

The solution to that would be picking the ROMs per emulator play action, not trying to guess which argument points to the ROM (with maybe a relative path).
