Suggestion: Have media saved based on roms file name instead of the metadata title.

When it comes to Launchbox downloading media for you, it wants to save the media based on the name the metadata decides. My basic request is to make it where instead the media itself is saved based on the name of the rom itself it is loading for.

I suggest this as I have started setting up my games and media and backing them all up to an external drive just to be safe. But if I were to redo the install in the future, after I installed the roms, just copying the media over into the folders could be problematic if the metadata changes the name of the rom in future revisions as you correct any mistakes in them.

Also, if I use Emu Sync or anything else, they all want to name the media after the file name as well making it much harder to keep media from multiple sources all organized.

And if I go through and get all the images and videos perfect and matching the roms itself, having the metadata itself change won’t be an issue as the media would be named after the rom itself.
