Bulk Edit File Paths?

[Cineaste]

I would like to clean up my rom collection which means moving around a bunch of files. Can anyone think of an easy way to bulk-edit file paths in Launchbox so that I don't break my entire setup?

This gets answered on a regular basis, last time was not even one week ago:

I suppose I need to use the search function more.

No problem mate ?

Keep in mind that is Rom path related only. If you are changing paths for emulators or media it is a more manual process.

Thanks, I figured this would need some manual intervention. Luckily I don't have too many emulators set up currently so the the process should be relatively straightforward.

Yeah it is easy enough to change the emulator path. Just do it in the >Tools>Manage Emulators and edit for each on affected.

Where it can be a pain is if you are changing media path locations outside of the LB folder structure. Most do not mess with that, but just a heads up if you choose to.

I dodged a bullet then since all images, videos, themes, etc. are stored inside LB's default folder structure. It's only the roms and emulators that have their own path (which means my setup isn't portable but that's another story).
