I would love to see the option to select different images as the displayed image in LaunchBox / BigBox, and without having to move the wrong images into the front folder.
My hope is that eventually we have the per platform option to select from a list of all available images to display as the front image.
Ideally this would be a drop down with all types of images, and with separate settings for LaunchBox and BigBox. This would allow us to have flyers showing for mame in LaunchBox, but have screenshots or titles for BigBox. But the setting needs to be per platform, because I would hate to have this setting common across all platforms.
I made a similar suggestion for selecting which images should be used as art, such as boxes, ingame, title, etc. In my case, it had more to do for browsing unplayed games or just not remembering the name of the game, but I can see how it applies here specially for arcade games which are non-standardized, as consoles boxes.
"..... I think there should be an option to use either boxes or in-game snapshots as part of the default view in LB and BB. So far its easier to find complete or close to complete sets of in-game images for most platforms, than for box arts, specially imports."
".....when browsing for new games that you never played before, boxes give an great neat look at the collection, but in-game snaps are more useful to get a better idea about actual game. I know that you can click on each game and look at the details panel for game snaps, but that is the problem, you have to click each game to see what it actually looks like. For example, when inviting friends to play, most don't remember the names of the games they want to play, and they end-up clicking on each cover to see if that's what they are looking for or if is something they would like to play"

So cheers Jason, for considering this for the To-Do list, and the arcade posters sounds great.
