Bulk Edit Wizard / Video Path

[wildpumpk1n]

Hello Guys,

I made a mistake. I would like to view my platform video, games etc in Launchbox just to check if they work before going in BigBox.

'Cause i change my folder and etc of one of my categorie the folder was not correct.

Ok, no probs, goind to Bulk Edit with selecting all my game and Ctrl+E.

Field i would like to change : VideoPath

Change the value to the folder, it said he need the name of a file, ok no prob, i put the first one agallet... thinking it just need to know to be sure.

What i did... It change the value for all my games...

 

Next time, i will do it with Notepad+ and just replace what i need. 

So hopefully, the backup folder is here

 

So, maybe it could be nice to change this thing to dont have in future any trouble like this? To be able to change just the folder?

(It was on 9.0, i didnt retest it :p)

You can easily change any platforms video path for all the games in that platform by going into >Tools>Manage Platforms and editing there.

Hi, I'don't know if i understood right but if the game video paths are wrong you just need to bulk edit them and leave the field empty, the paths will be filled again automatically if the files are in the folder set in the platform video file, no need to restore a backup.

Thanks for your answer, next time i will know. But its weird that you are able to modify all video link with only file.
