denmiclaw Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I debated posting this, as I don't want it to come off as a criticism to Launchbox, it's not. Merely my tale of woe. Like others, I'm particular in the way I do things. I have and do use other frontends and programs, and so I tend to keep my media and roms all after the same name. Until the past few days, I never had a problem with Launchbox and the way it treats media. So, I decided to try to clear up some image folders. Launchbox, as you know, creates folders for MANY image types, per platform. I actually don't use many image types - generally a box, cart, logo, gameplay snap and video. In trying to clean up some of the extra folders, I came upon the brilliant idea to point any media folder I wasn't using to a JUNK folder in the program's directory. This worked a treat. No more extra directories under my platform images. What I wasn't expecting, because I had never personally witnessed this behavior... was Launchbox deciding to go and rename every single media file I have to it's specifications. Thousands of files, all renamed, all made useless for anything except Launchbox. I understand that it will do it, after reading other posts on the forum - but there was no warning in the program that this would happen - or why. I don't understand why it would touch a folder of files that it had been using with no issues before, and rename everything. Anyway, I've spent the past few days trying to use emumovies/fuzzy rename to repair it, but I still have SO much to go through... Anyway - still love the program, still intend to use it, just a lesson to learn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
