Search for media/images takes the folder name as an input and not the rom filename

[dukeman]

If the user is importing roms into separate subfolders then the media/images takes the name of the subfolder as an input and if the subfolder name is different then the rom filename the media will not show up because the filename of image is different than rom filename. The same issue is when LB is determining the duplicated games - compares the subfolder name which in result the game which is not duplicate can not be imported (or you can force duplicate to import).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Choose the option in tools to Import roms
2. Add Files (in my case Nintendo Game Boy roms)
3. Choose platform (in my case Nintendo Game Boy) and emulator
4. On the next screen choose the option "Move the files into my LaunchBox games folder"
5. Use only Search for game information from the LaunchBox Games Database (recommended), wikipedia is not chosen
6. Choose all of the images both from default and EmuMovies.
7. On the next screen except default values choose also "Copy/move files into subfolders named with the game's title and year".

8. Problem 1: Note that after import couple of games don't have images shown like for example:

- Alien 3 - probably because of the subfolder created is named Alien 3(in superscript) and rom file is named Alien 3 without superscript and Image is named like subfolder (with superscript)

- Aladdin - same issue as above

- Asterix and Obelix - same issue as above

9. Problem 2: Note that after import couple of roms were not imported because LB analyze it as a duplicate like:

- Cyraid couldn't be imported - probably because of the subfolder created is named Cyraid but it contains only Japan version of rom named "Bakuretsu Senshi Warrior (Japan)" and LB couldn't import the usa version called "Cyraid (USA)".

- Castlevania Legends - same issue as above

 

Problem 1. can be solved by reimporting media for specific game or overall after the import from tools. Optionally user can also clean up the improper media byc choosing "Clean Up Media" option.

Problem 2. can be solved by additionally choosing the option (from step 7.) to force duplicate roms import. Optionally user can also combine the games together and have one position in game library.
