Renaming Roms in RetroX

Postby deaddisk » Mon Jun 26, 2017 6:16 pm

Hello,

I sit in front of my nvidia and rename some roms which are not identified by the scraper automatically. For that, I must switch beetween RetroX and the file manager. It would be nice if you could rename (the files) them in RetroX :)

The problem is that not all devices support apps writing to your files. From my experience I would receive tons of support requests because the renaming function doesn't work, even if I put a message on the screen telling the user that the device doesn't allow writing in their storage :-(

Can RetroX rename internally? Rather than actually renaming the file, create a pseudonym for the file name and scrape on that basis?

It may be a good option given that renaming the files is not always possible.

I liked this idea!
