numbered rom set not importing correctly

Issue #2521 invalid
Former user created an issue

files are numbered like: 0001_title.7z

when importing, launchbox thinks the title is "0001: title" and so it won't recognize correct title in order to download metadata

    For now you could use this in PowerShell:

    get-childitem .\*.zip | rename-item -newname { [string]($_.name).substring(6) }
    

    It removes the first 6 characters from every zip file in the working directory.

    Thank you Anonymous, and Philipp. Yeah, unfortunately there's not a lot we can do here, as game titles often start with numbers as well, so Philipp's solution is probably best.
