# Settings: App

> Set the GTA V folder, add extra mod folders, and choose the language.

The **App** tab of **Settings** holds the GTA V folder, extra folders, and the language. Click the gear in the title bar to open it. The other tabs are [Cache](/settings/cache.md), [Bridge](/settings/bridge.md), and **Account**, covered in [Your account](/account/overview.md).

![Settings App tab with Language, GTA V folder, Directories, and Licenses](https://mintcdn.com/rageon/_nzjx4zmIQAxf8Hl/images/settings/settings-app.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=_nzjx4zmIQAxf8Hl\&q=85\&s=9754f23cafc02b417717e7ef504113b5)

The App tab with a changed folder: the footer says Pending and the button says Save and scan.

Changes apply when you save. **Pending** in the footer means something is unsaved; **Saved** means everything is. **Close** discards unsaved changes without asking, and so does clicking outside the window.

## Point Rageon to GTA V

On first launch Rageon reads `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Grand Theft Auto V` and scans it on its own. It does not look for Rockstar or Epic installs. If your game is elsewhere, set it here. For the whole first run, see [First setup](/start/first-setup.md); for what the game needs, see [Requirements](/start/requirements.md).

**1. Choose the folder**

In **GTA V folder**, click **Choose** and pick the folder that contains `GTA5.exe`, or type the path. The button at the bottom becomes **Save and scan**.

**2. Click Save and scan**

The button shows **Indexing...** and the window closes when the scan ends. The status bar follows the progress and ends with the number of RPFs and assets indexed.

The field cannot be empty when you save.

## Add extra folders

**Directories** lists folders with mods, such as loose `.rpf` files, models, and textures. Rageon reads them together with the game, and their content wins over the base game.

**1. Click Add**

Pick one or more folders. Duplicates are ignored.

![Directories list with a folder path, a Watch switch, and a remove button](https://mintcdn.com/rageon/_nzjx4zmIQAxf8Hl/images/settings/settings-extra-folders.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=_nzjx4zmIQAxf8Hl\&q=85\&s=c2e6c5b131370d6c93f4e92d1a023331)

Directories with the Folder and Watch columns.

**2. Turn on Watch if you want it**

With **Watch** on, Rageon rescans when files in that folder change and shows **Sources changed, rescanning...** in the status bar.

**3. Click Save and scan**

Rageon indexes the new folders.

Removing a folder with the X only takes it off the list; nothing is deleted from disk.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Only a changed path triggers a new scan. Switching **Watch** alone turns the watching on or off without rescanning, even though the button reads **Save and scan**.

## Change the language

**Language** offers **English (US)**, **Português (Brasil)**, and **Español**. Without a saved choice the app uses English.

**1. Open Language and choose one**

![Language list with English (US), Português (Brasil), and Español](https://mintcdn.com/rageon/_nzjx4zmIQAxf8Hl/images/settings/settings-language.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=_nzjx4zmIQAxf8Hl\&q=85\&s=0372c6e5561d906cb7277a21b3d446a7)

The three languages.

**2. Click Save and reload**

The footer button changes to **Save and reload**. The window reloads in the new language. If you also changed a folder setting, the button keeps reading **Save and scan** and the window still reloads in the new language when you save.

![Settings App tab with Español selected and a Save and reload button](https://mintcdn.com/rageon/_nzjx4zmIQAxf8Hl/images/settings/settings-save-reload.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=_nzjx4zmIQAxf8Hl\&q=85\&s=8ede2f99762d92a5d838518554b1a145)

Español chosen and not yet saved.

## Licenses

**Licenses** credits the open-source toolkit Rageon uses to read the game's archives and opens the **MIT license** text.

![Licenses section with the MIT license text open](https://mintcdn.com/rageon/_nzjx4zmIQAxf8Hl/images/settings/settings-licenses.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=_nzjx4zmIQAxf8Hl\&q=85\&s=49d7c37a429c8aad07a607ba4b01a19d)

The MIT license text expanded.

## Options

| Option | What it does | Default |
| - | - | - |
| **Language** | Language of the interface. | The saved one, or **English (US)** |
| **GTA V folder** | Where the game is installed. Required. | The Steam default path |
| **Directories** | Extra mod folders, read with priority over the game. | Empty |
| **Watch** (per folder) | Rescans when that folder changes. | Off |

## Troubleshooting

> **Error: …**
>
> The status bar shows this in red when the scan fails. Check **GTA V folder** in **Settings** › **App**: it must point to the folder that contains `GTA5.exe`. Then click **Save and scan**.

More fixes are in [Troubleshooting](/help/troubleshooting.md).
