One image for multiple roms....

[Lukeyboy67]

I'm using a BB theme that shows game media, tapes, carts etc. I have 1535 Amstrad CPC roms but only 31 tape images. For all the roms missing a tape I want to show this image....

Is there a simple way of doing this? apart from copying and editing each one individually?

Cheers

Damn! OK thanks for the reply

I'm sure you could make a batch file that can copy your "Generic_Tape.jpg" to each "rom_name.jpg" 'automatically'.

In my oh-so-Joe way, I just had to figure out how to do this. ?

@Echo Off & SetLocal EnableExtensions
pushd D:\temp\roms
For /F "tokens=*" %%I IN ('dir /a-d /b *.cpc') DO (
	copy "D:\temp\generic_tape.jpg" "d:\temp\new\%%~nI.jpg"
)

Line 2:   Change D:\temp\roms to your roms folder location.

Line 3:   Change .cpc to your roms actual file extension. If you have .cpc and .dsk, you'll have to run it twice changing the extension (or copy & paste line 3, 4, 5 and changing the extension respectively).

Line 4:  Change the locations of the image you want to use and where you want to put them. If your image is .png, be sure to change the last .jpg.

Cheers for that!
