Introduce a built-in wizard that allows users to move ROMs, images, videos, music, manuals, and other media associated with a platform to another location or drive—without requiring manual folder reassignment or path editing. This would simplify storage management for large LaunchBox setups and make relocating content seamless.
As collections grow—especially with full-platform sets, videos, and high-resolution box art—disk space becomes a limiting factor. Currently, moving ROMs or media to another disk requires:
Manually copying files
Manually updating paths in the Edit Platform window
Risk of breaking links or corrupting file references
No way to bulk move platform content while preserving folder structure
This process is error-prone and time-consuming, particularly for users who want to reorganize their LaunchBox library across multiple drives.
Add a “Move Media/ROMs to Another Location” option when right-clicking a platform, or via Tools > Media Tools. The wizard would:
Let users select which platform they want to move assets for
Offer checkboxes for what to move (e.g. ROMs, Images, Video Snaps, Music, Manuals, Theme Videos, etc.)
Let users select a destination drive/folder
Automatically move selected content while preserving internal LaunchBox folder structures
Update internal paths in LaunchBox so everything continues to function correctly
Optional features:
Show estimated space savings before confirming
Option to consolidate multiple platforms in the same target location
Move media for individual games instead of whole platforms
Makes managing disk space across multiple drives far easier
Reduces the risk of broken file paths from manual editing
Saves time for users with large libraries
Makes LaunchBox more scalable for power users and collectors
Streamlines workflows when upgrading or adding storage
