About This File
A plugin to help restore missing media files when updating to LaunchBox 13.14+.
LaunchBox versions 13.14 and higher use a stricter naming convention for media files than previous versions. As a result you might find that you have many missing media files after updating. If you are in that situation, you can do the following:
- First make a backup copy of your Images and Videos folders just to be safe.
- Temporarily revert to LaunchBox version 13.12 by closing LaunchBox/BigBox and running LaunchBox/Updates/LaunchBox-13.12-Setup.exe
- Start LaunchBox and open the plugin (Tools->"Fixup Fuzzy Media Names" to run it for all games in a platform or if you want to run it for an individual game then right-click the game and select "Fixup Fuzzy Media Names").
- Follow the on-screen instructions to start the fixup process (you can choose between rom name format or game title format).
- Revert back to LaunchBox version 13.14 (or higher) by closing LaunchBox/BigBox and running LaunchBox/Updates/LaunchBox-13.14-Setup.exe
- LaunchBox versions 13.14 and higher should now recognize the media. The list of media files that had to be renamed can be found in LaunchBox/Logs/FuzzyNamingFixupLog.txt
Can't promise this will fix every case but it should fix most cases of missing media caused by the 13.14 update.
Installation:
- Copy FuzzyWuzzyNamingFixup.dll to your LaunchBox/Plugins folder.
