How to manually add folder to library?

Hi


I'm using fb2k in Windows Server 2012 R2 in core mode - no GUI no Explorer-like shell.
In core mode I cannot add folders to media library, but I still can use "add folder …" to current playlist.
I understand that it is because there is no explorer control as part of Open/Save dialog, anymore in core mode.

Is there an easy way to add my music folder to library in my case?
Library paths should be stored somewhere?!

foobar's configuration files have never been editable as plain text. the simple solution is don't use core mode if you want to use GUI apps.

edit: i suppose configuring a portable install on a normal machine and then copying it over might work. obviously you'd have to make sure the base folders are the same on both machines.

Anyway, I've just solved the problem:

I edited manually file: X:\Users\<myuser>\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000\library\folders
using an hex editor.
