Usage

RetroArch Playlist Editor interface tries to be as minimalist as possible and it's mostly self-explanatory.

Import content button: allows you to browse your files and add content to the current playlist (or just drag and drop them in the window). Alternatively, this button can also be used to open an existing .lpl playlist.

Selecting items: multiple selection in the playlist can be done by holding Ctrl or Shift keys

Edit content button: lets you edit massively the selected items (set core, content path...)

Rename content by .rdb database

RetroArch does not identify content names in some systems like MAME or FB Alpha when importing content. e.g.: mslug3.zip should be named Metal Slug 3. RetroArch Playlist Editor can fix that for you.

1. Open your .lpl playlist file (e.g.: MAME.lpl)
2. Drag and drop the needed .rdb database (e.g.: databases/MAME.rdb)
3. Done! All content will be identified by its filename and will be renamed correctly (and get the crc tag too). Database files are found in every RetroArch distribution.
