plugin idea! (long)

How many times have you downloaded a new export to find it full of a bunch of created moves? How sick are you of seeing 5 different spellings of hurricanrana?

Solution: a Moves Database Filter!!! (and later one to do Dives as well)

You could create filters which could then be applied to your database after importing wrestlers to clean up common alternative spellings you don't want.

So lets say I want it left as the TNM default of "rana". I'd do something like this...
Desired Move Name: rana
Undesired Variant Name #1: hurricanerana
Undesired Variant Name #2: hurricanrana
Undesired Variant Name #3: huricarana
Undesired Variant Name #4: hurricarana
Undesired Variant Name #5: huricanrana

You run the plugin and it searches for any of the Undesired Variant Names, tells TNM to delete them, and if the move is used by a wrestler in your database it will be replaced with the move listed under Desired Move Name.

I would REALLY love if Troy or someone would make this!!!

EDIT: btw, this would be customizable.  So you could choose the move and undesired spellings yourself.  Just wanted to clarify that :)

I second this idea.

I was looking back over the pages of the discussion board (mainly for old posts that I posted years ago, and I saw this one) Yes it's old, but I think it's a very good idea

I'd pay for it!
