(This is my current set_names.txt test file ; it worked great, and it should be complete).

To auto-rename directories

Just create a .txt file, open it with Notepad, and input this :

Code: Select all

set picsdir=D:\Example\Magic Workstation\Pics
set txtsource=D:\Example\Magic Workstation\set_names.txt
for /f "usebackq tokens=1,2 delims=/" %%i in ("%txtsource%") do if exist "%picsdir%\%%i" (move "%picsdir%\%%i" "%picsdir%\%%j")

OF COURSE, you have to edit the relevant path to your MWS Pics dir according to your MWS setup, the path here is just an example.

Save and rename it as "folder_rename.bat". Then just run it *as an administrator* (you may need to right-click => run as admin). Work done, all your set directories are correctly renamed.

To auto-update .mwDeck files

There is no real way to mess this up either, but just in case, please make a copy of your Decks folder somewhere.

To batch replace set codes inside .mwDeck files, https://findandreplace.codeplex.com/ will help us do the job. Just get the program first and put it anywhere you like (it's a simple fnr.exe, no install, no nothing). You can open it if you want but that's not going to be needed.

Now that you have your fnr.exe, create a .txt file, open it with Notepad, and input this :

Code: Select all

set fnrexe=C:\FNR\fnr.exe
set decksdir=D:\Magic Workstation\Decks
set txtsource=D:\Example\Magic Workstation\set_names.txt
for /f "usebackq tokens=1,2 delims=/" %%i in ("%txtsource%") do ("%fnrexe%" --cl --dir "%decksdir%" --fileMask "*.mwDeck" --includeSubDirectories --find "[%%i]" --replace "[%%j]")

OF COURSE, you have to edit the two relevant paths to fnr.exe and your MWS Decks dir according to your setup, the two paths here are just an example.

Save and rename it as "deck_update.bat". Then just run it by double-clicking on it (you might need to right-click => run as admin). Work done, all your .mwDeck files are updated.

Both at the same time

Of course, you can also just make one .bat file to do both :

Code: Select all

@REM This code can be run from anywhere. Requirements :

@REM 1) Have a list of all set names to change in a set_names.txt file.
@REM    This set_names.txt file should have 1 line per set name. The expected syntax for these lines is this : oldname/newname
@REM 2) Have fnr.exe somewhere on your computer (downloadable from findandreplace.codeplex.com). This is a simple .exe, no install required.
@REM 3) You have to edit fields below to input the location of a) your MWS Pics directory, b) your fnr.exe, and c) your MWS Decks directory.

@REM Once this is done, just save & close the file (make sure it is still a .bat), then run it by double-clicking on it or via a command window. That's it :)

@REM Update pictures set folders names with new name convention
set picsdir=D:\Example\Magic Workstation\Pics
set txtsource=D:\Example\Magic Workstation\set_names.txt
for /f "usebackq tokens=1,2 delims=/" %%i in (%txtsource%) do if exist "%picsdir%\%%i" (move "%picsdir%\%%i" "%picsdir%\%%j")

@REM Update deck files with new name convention
set fnrexe=C:\FNR\fnr.exe
set decksdir=D:\Magic Workstation\Decks
set txtsource=D:\Example\Magic Workstation\set_names.txt
for /f "usebackq tokens=1,2 delims=/" %%i in (%txtsource%) do ("%fnrexe%" --cl --dir "%decksdir%" --fileMask "*.mwDeck" --includeSubDirectories --find "[%%i]" --replace "[%%j]")
