Over 1000 Main menu themes

Hi

Sorry in advance for a long post

Im currently going trough my Main Menu Themes and Default System Themes collection,

Ive found nearly 1500 themes on my hardrives already and more to be added soon,(1087 Main Menu Themes and 380 System Themes)

but some are duplicates ive already scanned for duplicates and deleted

but some still skip trough as sometimes only the theme.xml is different or there is a

subfolder with the media in the zip file so still need to check those out.

Im renaming the zip files so i can know what themes i have already

cause many times old themes are uploaded to HS but have the authors

name and date in the description or the filename.

Ive only renamed the .zip files with info when the information was in the description

from the uploader or in the filename.

I just started doing that recently i always deleted that info before and just added

Alt 1 Alt 2 etc

Example
Atari 2600 (Main Menu Theme) (Unified HD) (16x9).zip
Atari 5200 (Main Menu Theme) (With Special Joystick Art 1) (Cab Buttons) (16x9).zip
Amstrad GX4000 (Main Menu Theme) (Unified) (16x9).zip
Amstrad GX4000 (Main Menu Theme) (Unified) (Alt 1) (16x9).zip
AAE (System Theme) (Unified) (16x9).zip
Atari 2600 (System Theme) (Griff08 20110321).zip
Atari 7800 (System Theme) (Unified HD Static) (16x9).zip

I added the (Main Menu Theme) and the (System Theme) and (Alt 1) etc. manually with

bulk rename utility and (4x3) and (16x9) when in description or filename.

But wanted to ask you guys if you know any easy way maybe a bat file or something

to scan all the zip files and extract the info from the txt file in the themes and

add to the end of the .zip file

and as some themes dont have a .txt file then those zip files would be skipped

Example in AAE main menu theme from THK

Theme Created By: THK
Date: 07-09-2009

i would want to add to the end of the zip file name

(THK 07-09-2009)

so instead of the zip file beeing named AAE.zip

then it would be AAE (Main Menu Theme) (THK 20090709).zip

then when finished ill upload it for all and so it can be added to hypersync if wanted

And non of these themes are my work so all credit to the original authors

thx jolasveinn
