Keeping file name, with metadata?

[onebadveggie]

Is there any way, or option to download the metadata for the games while still retaining the name of the file in your library? As a quick example, it's simple stuff like I'll have a file called "Slayer (USA)", but when the metadata downloads it changes the name to "AD&D: Slayer" in the library. I'd like to retain the name "Slayer (USA)" but still have all the metadata info, just so when I'm going through, making sure all my media is named correctly, that things are just simpler.

Since I imagine some of us are using databases from all over to keep track of our roms to begin with, it would just be simpler for me personally if this was possible. Just to keep rom names, media, and all the stuff uniform.

Hi @onebadveggie, unfortunately not at this point. This is on my list, though. I believe we do have a ticket for it as well. If you can find it on Bitbucket and vote it up, that would help me be able to focus on it sooner. Let me know if you can't find it for some reason.

Here’s the ticket for it: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/296/image-data-named-same-as-roms-or-rename

It’s currently one of the highest voted tickets but another up-vote won’t hurt

In that same ticket Jason says " I like the thought of having an option to rename all images, and also an option to choose between ROM file name and game name as well. Those are great ideas." Those are EXACTLY what I would like. I upvoted!
