Thank you very much for this plugin! 

It's very useful, and i agree with other comments. 

 

Just an improvement that could be done: Also rename videos the same way.

 

Response from the author:

Ah... videos, I knew I forgot something. Yes, I'll definitely add support for that. (EDIT: This has been added in v1.0.3)

Thank you so very much for making this for us! It works like a charm and exactly what we needed and wished for :) It'll come in handy when you work on a media project which in my case is distributed in rom names but when you want to upload it to the database it should be in LB names to make it much easier. Thanks again man! 🥂

Not only did I quickly find the forum post where somebody had the same thought as me, but some other awesome dude made a plugin for it!!
Thank you, Rob, this is so damn awesome!

I'll use it to easily use Launchbox's already downloaded media for another frontend, I love to experiment a lot with these. :)
