More than one image type to show for games in case one doesn't exist?

[ckp]

Hi,

When I use custom filters and combine multiple platform games into one single group, I have a problem in that many games have no art. In the normal platform view, I may have the Image Type set to Boxes and in some others I have it set to Screenshots.

Is there any way to show the screenshot if there is no box image or vice-versa? This way I won't have artless game selections in my custom filter view.

Thanks.

Do you have a premium license? If so you should be able to set image priorities that will fill in the empty spaces. If not then you will need to get premium in order to do this.

yes i have premium.

i'm not sure what should be set. almost every game i have has either a box or gameplay screenshot and each game shows this when clicking on each platform inside of Platforms view.

but i have never seen it show say screenshot if a box art is missing, probably because there is what appears to be a global view in LB where as far as i can tell you have to pick one or the other.

i just tried going into options images/box front properties and moving up screenshot gameplay just under box - front.

in LB i chose drop list image type "boxes", but still nothing but box art shows for games or blank games when there is no box art but there is screenshot gameplay.

i find the whole art config and priorities a bit confusing.

ok, actually i think i got it working. after making sure priority for box front had screenshot under it AND refreshing the images, it works! sweet.

initially i just couldnt understand why there would be non box front specific selections in the box front priorities since htey each have their own priorities. i think i understand how it works now.

holy smoke i think it's rebuilding the entire image cache folder again because it's climbing from a very small folder size compared to the many gigs it used to be.
