Is there a way to only show games without images?

[Visivopro]

I'd Like to only show my games that do not have images so that I can fix the issues, 9 times out of 10 its a misspelling or something.

 

thanks for the help.

using roms that have a no intro rom set clears this issue, if not you have a lot of renaming to do.....

@Visivopro There are two ways to do this.  

Option 1:  This is a relatively new feature in LB.  You go to the drop down box in LB at the left of screen and look for "Games Missing Media".  It will have various options on which media to look for.  The first time you select that option, it will scan your entire game library and that takes awhile. Once finished, I then go to View>>Arrange by Platform and you can then see missing media by platform. 

Option 2:  Use the Tools >>> Audit feature which will then scan that particular platform and give you a grid view.  Unfortunately, it doesn't have every image as a unique column but it does have the main ones. You have to be aware of how your image options are set as far as priority since it picks up anything you have checked there in the audit screen.  But this can also be used to manage media that doesn't have a header. For example, if I want to look and see if I have back box image then I set in the image priorities all off except for Box Image - Back and put it in something I don't usually care about like "3D Cart Images".  Then when you run audit feature it will show all back images available under that column.  This is only temporary since you can reset your image priorities back after you have done your "audit" work.  It doesn't actually "change" anything as far as where the images are located, just what it includes to scan.  So for example, I used this for pinball platform to find front advert flyers.  I just set the 3D Cart Images to only have priority of Front Adverts and it will indicate in that column all games I had flyers for. 

In all cases, you can select individually or in mass to edit/download media. The only part that can slow things down is if you do select multiple games to download media it will exit out of the audit grid to run the media download task. If you have a big platform library (say like Mame/Arcade) it can take awhile each time you rerun the audit feature since it re-scans each time. This is where Option 1 above is nice because once you do the main scan you can run multiple download media runs but doesn't require you to rerun the scan (does nag you to rerun but can say no).

There are a couple tools in the Download section that users have made plugins but found the several I have tested have various glitches (i.e., misses media that is actually there) and were made prior to the improvements in both options above.  So typically would stick with those.
