I get this security flag when trying to install your program. I'm the only user on my computer. Could you help point me in the right direction please?
These are UAC settings on your machine. Lower your threshold and it will install.

I am getting this same error as well. It looks like it is trying to find the files in c:\users\wiz\... When the program first starts up, it prompts for the path of launchpad, but appears to not be using that path in this instance.
I found this issue. Apologies. New version uploaded.

Setup exe. Than I had an issue with a strange path. Than I want to delete all and re set it up again. Than it won't work anymore and i got that failure message that it is already installed in a different path
Pardon my redundancy but there are no listings to uninstall in control panel? Look for launchbox image manager and launchbox media manager.

cannot work with that tool. it says it is already installed, even when I delete that old version anymore.
Strange. Are you running the setup.exe or the application file?

Background fade no longer adjusts the fade. I've set to 0 and 100. Same results.

I have set my priority to North America but am wondering how to keep from downloading multiple images from multiple countries when I scrape media. Example, When I download a box cover for Super Mario Bros. 3, I only want the traditional North American box art, not the other countries or extra versions of the same game. One image, per game. Possible?

Yeah, it should be in the memory/clipboard. We could always save it first if it's not possible.
EDIT! I have successfully implemented both methods. Will upload later with other new features. You can paste an image copied from the web without saving it to disk first and also paste a url from the clipboard and it saves it as well.

I had in mind copying an image from a web browser, actually. But yeah, whatever is possible.
At that point that image may not be stored in a location on your drive that can be pulled from and copied to another place. Researching now...

Yeah, this feature isn't even available in Launchbox, which makes adding new images manually a horror
Are you wanting to copy and paste from a folder on your local drive or right click and copy an image from a web browser and expect to paste it in....the latter may be more difficult.

And one more idea. Currently, we can only drag and drop. This is really convenient and good way of importing new images. However, sometimes it would be good just to use "copy image to clipboard" and paste it. Maybe some shortcuts etc. It is already a great plugin. But yeah, just a few more ideas for you how it could be made even better. Maybe not the most essential but worth mentioning.
Another great idea!

I have one more idea. I am not sure if you like it to implement, though. It would be great if we can use 'site' google search command to search through custom websites if we need to. So the ability to search images based on custom urls that we provide. For instance, when I click a button, I get this in google search engine:
Commodore Amiga The Great Giana Sisters site:http://amr.abime.net/
Commodore Amiga The Great Giana Sisters site:http://mobygames.com/
etc.
Will consider as well.

So will you add the features that I mentioned about? It shouldn't be a big deal. But it would be very helpful.
Yup! See first post and the "To be done" section.

Ok it works now.
The problem now is that many of my media pictures do not have the exact same name as the game (many of them got "(USA)" or "Europe)" text in file name after game title). They are connect to game in launchbox but when i click "Filter missing items" this games are shown in the list.
Other question - it is possible to add videos, manuals and music samples to the listing?
Any help will be apriciated.
Correct. The goal was to standardize to the default launchbox-created file structure "Game title - 01.png". I did not (competency limits) build in the intelligence to account for what you describe as I had few anomalies like you outlined. If you are getting images from the database or emumovies this is a minor issue. If you are importing image packs from other sites, bigger issue.
I will definitely look at adding the other elements you describe. Great idea!

I present Arcade media Manager. I preface that I built this for me thus the functionality may not suit everyone's needs but I'm open to feedback.
1.6 Updates
- Fixed bugs
1.5 Updates
- Renamed app to Arcade Media Manager based on discussion with Jason Carr
- Fixed bugs
1.4 Updates
- Added delete button for images and videos
- Added multi-image viewing
- Reworked code to account for images with -01,-02,-03 more effectively and reduce inaccurate results.
1.3 Updates
- Cleaned up interface
- Changed color scheme to gray
- Added support for manuals (adding, viewing)
- Added support for PinballX media management (this is disabled and will only be enabled by request as I'm not sure anyone else but me wants it and I want this to be Launchbox focused)
1.2 Updates
- I forget, lol
1.1 Updates:
- Added platform name to web search and remove "images" as well as open images tab in google
- Added functionality for videos (snaps and themes)
- Added ability to copy and paste images from the web (direct image and url)
What it does:
- Select your root LaunchBox Directory.
- Platforms, Image types, and Game lists will populate.
- Select a platform and image type.
- Select a game and see the current image for that title and type. Choosing "Gallery" will show the Box-Front, Marquee, Fanart, and Clear Logo.
- Drag an image on top of another to replace it or add it to the appropriate folder and the with appropriate name for LaunchBox recognition.
- Click the "Missing items" filter to only show games that are missing that particular image type and quickly update them by dragging and dropping.
- Search the web for images for a game title.
- Open the images directory from the app.
Screenshots:
To be done (based on feedback):
- Add functionality for music

I also feel things have gone a bit quiet around here. No more betas or live streams and the forums seem very stale. Odd.
Edit: Jason hasnt posted since 7/4.

I wrote a windows application to manage media for Launchbox. I plan to release it soon. It loads yoru XMLs and generates a list of all titles, then much like the audit feature, it shows you all games missing images for the type you have selected. It then allows you to drag and drop an image, renames it appropriately and places it in the appropriate folder.
EDIT: See here:

@igotdvds Thanks for sharing those by the way. I have them all on my system. Love the Playstation ones.
My pleasure. If there are systems you need that are missing, pm me.

As a big marquee user, I can tell you this isn't available right now. Batch is the way to go if you want a default image. If you want to make marquees for every game easily, use imagemagick and create one out of the clear logo on a default background. Easy way to get unique marquees for every game. I've posted many systems in the Game Marquee section if you want to see.

Sort of....I knew about those and most others probably do to but the games I mentioned above were completely new to me.
-
I've recently setup a couple of relatively newer games on my box:
Ssh...! Welcome to FrightFearLand
Fast and Furious Super Bikes
Aliens Extermination
Are there any other newer games like these that you have working? Preferrably non-MAME games.
