Visual pinball snaps in MaLa?
« on: January 08, 2009, 12:43:44 pm »
I have a collection of screenshots used from VPlauncher and am trying to get them to work in MaLa - it appears there's a different filename convention for MaLa as there is for other programs like VPlauncher.  Is there a collection of screen caps for visual pinball tables that works with MaLa or is there a way to tweak MaLa to alter the way it looks for vp snap filenames?  I loathe the idea of having to go through 1000+ tables and rename each file manually.  There must be a better way?

one problem I have is, I can't tell what the filename format should be for each table.  I'm using VPLauncher and I can't seem to figure out what the correllation is between file name conventions and the name of the game as displayed in the menu. 

Alternatively, does anyone have a nice complete collection of visual pinball screen shots?

I guess you have about this type of collection I have, I have not really tested for Visual Pinball, but it should works. It also rename screenshots to being the same filename as the table
