Platforms looking for wrong ROM extension; launching game fails

[beboprs]

I recently extracted my compressed roms (.7z, .zip, etc.) to their native extensions and now none of my ROMS will launch without me going in and manually selecting the correct file (uncompressed extension) or by deleting the entire platform and re-importing the ROMs from scratch. With 30+ platforms and 55K+ ROMs this would take forever. Is there any easier way to tell LB what extension to look for with each platform?

Thank you!

This is because the files that you imported into Launchbox no longer exist. You will have to go platform by platform. Just delete the platform and re-import it, leave the get metadata option checked, but uncheck all the media downloads as you already have it all and it will re-attach after.

There isnt a lot we can do if the files you imported are no longer available, you will have to do some manual work to associate the new files.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Thank you!
