fix ROM filenames based on metadata #2253

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago
  1. import metadata from a source (IGDB for example) and applying changes to the ROM files
  2. button to fix name of file(s) based on the metadata imported

Example:

  1. added ROMs for NES using emulator, one of them with filename "ff1.nes"
  2. searched for metadata on IGDB and added correct data and name "Final Fantasy"
  3. use new feature to fix filename: filename (and image path in Installation section) changes to "Final_Fantasy.nes"

There's no way we can link names like ff1.nes with appropriate IGDB entry.

ROM import will be in general improved via #653

Hi, I guess I couldn't explain correctly.

The idea is not to link names to IGBD.

The idea is that once your data is clean and updated, you have a button to export the NAME of the game to the FILENAME. Basically, the filename instead of being "ff.nes" would change to "Final_Fantasy.nes"

This functionality would organize all files easier. Would you consider it?

That's should be imho done as an extension, since I don't see many people using this. SDK should already have everything needed for this.

hey, so I have created an extension as you suggested. Thanks for the help and keep up the great work 👍 https://playnite.link/forum/thread-583.html
