Move images/media when bulk editing platform name

[Hani Obaid]

Recently updated to launchbox 5.8. Had no serious issues with launchbox before this one. Have around 749 entries in the database. Recently imported about 35 new games using steam import. Exited launchbox and used it several times since that import. At a later date, I was cleaning up the 35 items I imported. For example they were all set to Platform:PC. i used multi-edit to select them and then edit the platform field for these 35 items to be windows then selected (no further edits). This worked. i.e. it changed the platform to windows on all of the selected items. However for all of them the images field was cleared and now showed 0 images. I then tried to use the (download metadata and images field) and checked the option to only download it for items that didn't have any, however this only added back the images for 3 out of the 35, and instead I had to open each one and manually redownload images. The multiedit feature is critical and I have used it before on every update without this issue. It seems this may be related to changes since videos and the new game database features were added, but I am only guessing.

Hi Hani, thanks for this report. This is because when you bulk edit the platform name, it doesn't move the images to the new image folder (since they're organized by platform). I believe we do need a ticket for this, thanks.

The immediate solution is to just manually move the images over to the right folder after bulk editing a platform name.

To do this, just rename the old System folder or move everything inside it to the new one.
