Launchbox taking forever to "clear(ing) image caches" when retrieving new metadata/media

[JaredKFan]

Hi all, as above -

Launchbox is taking an awful lot of time to do a simple clearing of the image cache before it downloads new metadata and media.  Is there any way to tell it to skip that step when grabbing new metadata and media?  Because the progress bar is just moving infinitely in a circle and I don't have the patience to wait many hours for it to get through this step.

Edit: it crashes with the following error message:

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. (Parameter 'index')

App:     LaunchBox

Sorry for ressurecting a dead thread but i just found a solution for this problem. If your launchbox gets stuck at clearing image cache, just ctrl + a to mark all of the games you are trying to scrape and press F5 or go in to view > media > refresh...
