Popper Media Saver - Bat File
By Abhcoide
I wrote this bat script to help me, maybe it will help someone else.
You'll have to open it up and edit the source directories, to match where you have Popper installed.
What this does, is it will copy the media files - of your selected table - to that directory (provided the directory matches your table name).
Why would you want this? Chances are, you probably don't!
...unless you organise your backups in the same way I do - table by table.
In my backup directory - I have a folder for each table. Inside that folder, I keep everything related to that table, such as backglasses, different table authors, media, pup backs, etc.
Thing is, I don't download all my media from VPU - sometimes (particularly in the beginning) I used Popper's media selection tool. This directly put the frontend media into popper.
I curate things a bit differently now, but some of the media via popper is pretty cool. To ensure I have a local copy, I move the bat file into the relevant directory and then double click it. It'll copy the media (if it exists) into that directory (renaming as necessary). Boom, now I have a local copy for my backup.
Why don't I just backup the Popper Media directory? Well, I could and probably should - but then it wouldn't be done table by table, which is how I like it. As I said, you probably don't need/want this - but if you do, here it is!
Example: Move the bat file to a folder "24 (Stern 2009)" Run the bat file It will then go to your popper media and copy over all files that start with "24 (Stern 2009)"
You'll note, when you look at the bat file, I'm not copying playfield or backglass. You can add those, if you want. For me, I don't need them because I just use popper's auto recorder to generate those.
