how to rename roms/games?

[Nedo]

Hi there,

yesterday i importet a huge set of Atari 800 games, but somehow only a few where importet correct with boxart & video,

really just a few, i think its because the games names, they are to long with alot infos, is there a quick way to rename it?

I can't imagine renaming each game manually *gulp* ;p

@Nedo, I'm not aware of any way to bulk edit ROM names from within LB at this point. To manually edit ROMs/games in LB, simply right click on any game you want to edit, and select edit (7th option from the bottom of the list) and on the first field is your title field that you can rename to anything you want.

@Nedo I'm sure there are a ton of tools out there for managing romsets. I also have some batch files that I've created that helps me manage my roms. Which Atari set did you use? If you don't know that, browse through the roms and share some of the "extra information" that is in the titles. IE: (Proto, RevA, RevB, Hack, etc.)

Hi Zeromod & alxis, thanks for the reply,

well i started from scratch, the files have to many infos in the name (TOSEC files), i just found another one, with just the names but in separate folders,

will try this now. In the end i only need just a few cool games i remember of the golden atari 400/800 days, i think adding slowly and manuly will do it for now ;p

You need this: Bulk Rename Utility

I'd take a look at Crush's suggestion. I can also say "Renamer" works fine just don't confuse it with the generic "The Renamer" app as it's really kind of garbage. Lots of ways to skin that particular cat and you don't need to necessarily get into regex hell to do it.
