 * New game media file logic using a media directory with files matching the ROM names instead of pointing to the media files in gamelist.xml
 * Updated scraper to support additional media files, detailed configuration of what to scrape, semi-automatic mode etc.
 * In the metadata editor, any values updated by the single-game scraper or by the user are now highlighted using a different font color
+* Files or folders can now be flagged for exclusion when scraping with the multi-scraper, and for folders it can be set to apply recursively
 * Gamelist sorting now working as expected and is persistent throughout the application session
 * Added support for jumping to the start and end of gamelists and menus using the controller trigger buttons (or equivalent keyboard mappings)
 * Full navigation sound support, configurable per theme with a fallback to the built-in sounds if the theme does not support it
