1st Post & Feature Suggestion

[Djisnu]

My First Post is TLDR:

Greetings to all,

    Thanks for having me, I have been using LaunchBox & BigBox for roughly 4 years with a library roughly ~20k titles strong. I have always been able to visit the forums & quickly find a solution to almost anything I have run into. I love hunting down & collecting consoles, cartridges, controllers & all things arcade. Since Covid hit I decided to build my own Arcade Cabinet & oh how it has that been a fun & rewarding process! I hope to eventually be a contributor to this project in some capacity as I have C++, Python, Java, HTML, CSS, SQL, Blah blah blah experience. I have hosted private emulation servers & much more but love to give back to the communities I am a part of. Four years after it all started I finally feel like I have at least a thought to contribute as I step forward into this community. My feature suggestion below may have been suggested in the past or may already be in the works as it goes to the very core of what a great front end is capable of, thanks in advance for your consideration!

The Feature Suggestion:

    I have always hoped for a feature that would allow us to automate renaming our files & folder directories to the names they have been scraped as. Obviously one would have to ensure they correctly scraped before renaming but it would be great if we could force the file and directory folders to the correctly scrapped names & then automatically adjust launch pathways to these new file & directory names.

    I have noticed we have a feature that I believe is linked to the Platform names that when a change is made it will migrate your images to the newly named folder via prompt. This isn't too far off what I would love to see come to the LaunchBox Community.

Cheers,
