deathr0w Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I recently moved my entire rom sets to another location on my local drive and now under the LB/BB games dir I'm looking for an easy way to change the location within LB/BB because it doesn't know I moved the files and I don't want to edit each XML file and change each game like that now is anyone going to make something so I can at least do one platform by being able to change a master location for example. (Original location that is locked in LB/BB) D:\games\roms\mame change to (new location I want changed to) D:\Program Files (x86)\LaunchBox\Games\mame I hope I posted this in the right area of the forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 There is no plugin right now. The 2 ways to do it is either remove your games from LB and re-import them from the new location or use Notepad++ to bulk edit the xml files like I show how to here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I just did this using notepad++ it was actually really easy. Just open all of the platform database files and do the find and replace in all open documents. Took like 5 minutes. Still needs to be a feature within launchbox, but this is a rather easy workaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
