renaming multiple images from a text list

[thatchdog1]

i was able to get all the name of pico-8 games. i don't want to give each games its own art, video etc.. So i used Powershell and notepad++ to get all the names and now i have that in notepad. i have multiple copies of the same default image I will use for this platforms media. How to I bulk change each image using the list.txt  I tried many variations in powershell but i can't seem to get it to work. I am going crazy. any help would be nice. thanks

There's a way to have a default image that will be displayed when there's no specific one for the game, I don't remember exactly where is that option and I l'm not at home right now to check, but it must be in the platform options

Thanks for your replay. I tried to make default folders for media example.  Default arcade marquee.  But it wouldn't show. I hope there is an easier way

To set the default images used for your platform, in LaunchBox:

• Got to Tools < Manage < Platforms
• Select your platform 
• Click Edit
• (the easy way)
  • From Windows File Explorer, 
  • Select your image(s)
  • drag and drop them onto the area below where it says Images
  • Use the left and right arrows ('carrots') to switch images
  • Click on the image type to change,,, well,, the image type.
• Once you've set them, click OK to save and close.

Thank you so much🙏 Saved me so many hours trying to write a script. How did I overlook this feature. Well that's a very simple solution. I will definitely try this out after work tonight. Appreciate the help.
