chrisrlink Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 so i have about 1k roms which file names are too long to be transfered to to character limit on fatx, how can i shorten the names (in bulk) without doing 1,000+ renames (also the xored mini trainer pack had the same issue not just as much of a pain (bout 5-6 etm's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prtscn Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 if i remember correctly, from my experience. filezilla does shorten file names automatically to support file system. So try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisrlink Posted May 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) no i use fatxplorer which doesn't anyways I use BRU (bulk rename utility) with these settings regex match (.{20}) replace /1 Remove from 49 (I just lowballed the number so the file name will only be 48 characters) to 999 and click the sym (symbol) checkbox which will remove symbols), also go to renaming options---->prevent duplicates then select all your files you want to rename and hit rename on the lower left corner,better yet Ill include my settings file just go to File and open load it and your ready to rename I hope that config file helps someone else out (also the program is freeware OGXBOX.bru Edited May 2, 2023 by chrisrlink added close parenthesis for more clarity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowlsnapper Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 It can be done with a setting for ftp in XBMC, but "fatx file renamer" will do this on PC. It will batch files too. So breathe easy. Ignore the FTP reference in the forum link title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
