any way to change .backdrop.jpg to fanart.jpg quickly - robert1901 - 2013-01-05

Like is there a tool that will change lots of files named backdrop to what xmbc uses or is there anyway to use my .backdrop.jpgs with xmbc?

I have alot of movies that were fetched for Media Browser and would like to try XMBC but changeing every backdrop would be a just a nogo lol

Hi and Welcome. There are lots of apps for all platforms that can rename your files in a blinc of an eye. Just do a google search and I am sure you will find one for your platform. On the Mac I use an app called "A better finder Rename "

Maybe you can fix it by editing the the Advancedsettings.xml.

Read about it here:

A simple one-line script will do that, so why look for a program?

This will rename all backdrop.jpg to fanart.jpg in all subdirectories, just place it a file call for example renameallbackdrops.cmd and run it.

Code:
for /f "tokens=*" %%x in ('dir /s /b backdrop.jpg') do ren "%%x" "fanart.jpg"
