Support for .JPEG files (box art)

[Smocca]

I downloaded the Atari 5200 box art set from emumovies and found that GameEx wouldn't display them. After messing around a bit I figured out it was because they use the .jpeg extension instead of .jpg. Renaming the files as .jpg has fixed the issue obviously, but it seems strange that GameEx isn't setup to handle already. Assuming there's no setting or workaround for this already, is this something that can get added to gameex?

Also, now I'm wondering if I have a bunch of other .jpeg files scattered throughout the rest of my folders, so does anyone know any programs that can search for and rename .jpeg to .jpg automatically?

Thanks in advance.

I could add it to gameex, but it will add on extra file checks and searching, which could slow things down. Thats why it does not do it.

Here is how to rename. I think yourll find .jpeg is rarely used, as it generally breaks file naming convention rules.

Click Start > Run > CMD

Type the drive letter the snape are on followed by colon. eg c:

type CD "Path to box art". eg. CD "C:\emulators\atari 5200\box"

Type: rename *.jpeg *.jpg

Oh very nice that is easy. Thanks for the quick reply.
