Rename Artwork (Media) files

Available since version 2.0.1.0 beta 2

The Rename Artworks button allows you to rename the artwork files associated with the selected games, depending on the

ROM file name (if Image as Rom is checked in the Images Options tab)
- Parent Rom file name if it's a clone belonging to an Arcade system and that Arcade Clone Parent Name is checked.
Game name (if Image as Rom is not checked in the Images Options tab)

To be applied only if the Artwork names do not match the game title / rom file name

Procedure

As a precaution, save the gamelists.xml of the impacted systems.

Select the system (only one) then click on Show

When the Database is filled with the Roms found,

Select the Roms whose Artworks you wish to rename

Check whether or not Image as Rom is checked depending on what you want: Artworks with the same name as the Rom file, or Artworks with the name of the game.

If Image as ROM and Arcade Clone Parent Name are checked, in the presence of an Arcade system, if the ROM is a clone, ARRM will rename the media with the file name of the Parent ROM. This saves storage space. See: Associate the same media for parent Arcade ROMs and their clones to save storage space

Click on the Rename Artworks button

Save your gamelist

ARRM uses the name of the image file (if existing) to determine the file name.
