Description
Description
When a ROM is renamed from within the GUI, the thumbnails, cover art, screenshots, and information for the ROM will no longer be valid (typically empty). There should be an extra field in the playlist with a key like "user_label". If non-empty this should override the "label" for the user view in playlists, but not for RetroArch internal lookups.
Expected behavior
Expect renaming the ROM to have no change on the thumbnail, cover art, screenshot, and information of that ROM.
Actual behavior
All of that information is disassociated from the ROM.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Load a ROM into a playlist.
- Load the thumbnail for the ROM.
- Rename the ROM (via the GUI).
- Load the thumbnail for the ROM.
Bisect Results
Always true, as far as I can tell.

Start by tracing the GUI playlist rename flow and the playlist label and thumbnail lookup behavior described in the issue. Verify how renaming changes the label used for user display versus RetroArch's internal lookup, then confirm that thumbnails, cover art, screenshots, and information remain associated after the rename.
