Rename fanart.jpg to fanart.tvixie

[12aon]

Here's a small script I wrote to do the job for me. Open the scrip and rename:

Code: Select all

PUSHD "\\Mede8er\hdd1\Movies"

To:

Code: Select all

PUSHD "\\(Your device)\(root of your movies folder)"

Just use explorer to navigate to your movies folder, and copy the address from the address bar. Note: it has got to be surrounded by "" (quotes).

The script will trip on file names that have "&" in their name luckily that should only be a few, rename those by hand. This is useful when you want to switch to a new template or want to update your template but want to be able to change something to you about.jpg without having to rename every single fanart.jpg,

I already released a script for this purpose a while ago:

viewtopic.php?f=10&t=848#p4112

I'm sorry you didn't see it and had to develop one from scratch.

Sorry dude, didn't mean to take your credit, yours seems more solid. Does it rename al files in subfolders as well?

[Axel Foley]

No problem...

Like I wrote in the post where I attached the script, you pass a directory name as a parameter and it recurses all subdirectories renaming the file.

Hope you like it...it uses a pretty cool technique to do the subdir recursion, check it if you like batch scripting.
