This is a little tool I originally made for my personal use, but I thought I’d share it and get some feedback.
The goal is to help automate and organize files so they’re added correctly to your pinball setup. It’s all running locally on your computer — no files are uploaded to any server or database.
Simply drop your table file into the Upload card. That will set the table name, and the tool will automatically rename related files like backglass and res files.
It’s set up for most files used with Visual Pinball, Future Pinball, and media for some frontends. You can also set custom file locations and custom files — including multiple files and folders if needed.
Once all your files are added, you can package them into a zip file. If everything’s set up correctly, you can extract that zip into the parent folder and the files will go to all the right locations automatically.
I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions — especially around frontend media, since I don’t personally use all the different frontends out there.
Feel free to ask any questions. Honestly, I have no idea if this is solving a real problem or just something that annoys me — especially since I do most of this work on a Mac and transfer everything over to the pinball cabinet.
