paulwgraber Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Ive been reading about image priorities in launchbox and I get that but there has to be an easier way to just be able to select what image you want as your front end.

No? PG Default image in exactly which spot? If you are talking about in the middle pane of LB where the game list is you can set the image type per platform. If you have multiple images of a specific type you cannot tell LB which one of those to always display. You would have to have only 1 image. As far as setting a specific image type as the default just select a platform and in the top left of the window look for "Image Group" and select what image type you want as the default display for that platform. As mentioned you can set each platform to a different type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 If you have multiple images in your highest priority image type you cannot pick which of them is used. If you want a specific image to be used, only have that image tied to the game. I'm unsure why you'd ever want to waste the space on the drive with images you DON'T want to see...

paulwgraber Posted September 14, 2023 Author Share Posted September 14, 2023 OK that makes sense so just delete what I don't want. Still With such a sophisticated platform I think it would be easy to just be able to select a default for the game frontend pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly how it's intended to be setup. Start with the image priority settings. Set which type you want displayed. Next, have only one image in the main type. This is the image that will be displayed. If the main image type does not exist then it looks for the second image type and the image within it... And so on. There is no point in having multiple box front images, just have the one you want to see, all others are just taking up space. The only types of images you would want multiple of are gameplay and Fanart backgrounds, all other categories like cart front, 3D cart, 3D box, clear logo, box front/back/spine would all only need one per category, the rest is wasted space.

paulwgraber Posted September 15, 2023 Author Share Posted September 15, 2023 I never thought of it that way but your 100% right. Makes sense. Why the hell was I over complicating it. PG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpujunkie Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 If the art work is neat looking I like having multiple box art, disc, clear logos. Lunchbox will pick one from the multiples. Get to randomly see the cool / alternate art work. If I wanna keep it I change the image type from box front to fan art front box or whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
