How can I rename my art by rom name?

So I am trying to use cpwizard to generate some dynamic images of my control panel with button labels for all my mame games, which I will then use with a launchbox pause theme.  But cpwizard is really old and clunky at this point.  (If anyone knows a better tool I'm listening.  There is some newer scripts people have made on retropi forums but I'm not a pi guy) 

Anyway, I want to use the clear logos I have.  Unfortunately cpwizard only supports mame format art, which is all by rom name.  I have a copy of all my clear art in launchbox format (long game name -01)  and I'd like to rename them all to the rom name, so I can pull them into cpwizard.  Does anyone know of a script or simple way to accomplish this?

That is going to be tough for renaming utilities since the long name and the MAME rom names are so different. Your best bet is to find a clear logo pack that already uses the rom name format for the files. EmuMovies and/or the Hyperspin site are good places to start your search.

Lol, it's like me to way over think and over complicate something simple.  I forgot there are art packs not just for LB.  Downloaded a pack from emumovies and it worked great!

Still not a fan of cpwizard for generating art, wish there was something a little newer.  And the controls.xml files I found are years out of date.  Oh well, it works for most.
