LaunchBox Not Downloading All Images,why?

[EdgarLDSantos]

I will use 3DO as an example, when I try to download images using the following method
"select all games > tools > Download >Update Metadata and media ... > and follow the instructions of the Wizard.
For some reason the images that I select "Fanart - Box - Front" for exemple are not being downloaded, the only way to download is going game by game (Edit > Edit Metadata/Media > Images > Download Media and selecting the fields that have not been downloaded .
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
This happens with all platforms.

Another thing, what happened to "Image Group"? Where are the other options? Advertisement Flyer, Reconstructed, Fanart, etc.

The other options missing means those image types are not in the database for that game. That game you have highlighted if you look in the DB it does not have images for those other options. So LB will not list them. In the image below you can see Alone in The Dark has more image types in the DB so those image types show selectable. If I do the same for DeathKeep you see it matches what you are seeing. 

As far as it not downloading images from the "Select All Games" option are you saying it is not downloading any images at all for the option you select for all games or just some games?

[EdgarLDSantos]

It doesn't matter if I select one game or all games

It is not downloading a specific group of images

As you can see in the images, it is not downloading even if I select all the options.

Atari 2600 for exemple is not downloading Box - Front - Reconstructed

And about Image Group, My arcade games have "Advertisement Flyer - Front" but I don't see this option in Image Group

How can i select Advertisement Flyer - Front instead of Boxes(Box - Front) ?

Can't see much in what you're doing (or what is being done) with the download prompt when selecting a single game, but if you check the box for the items you want and press download you should see them in the images tab once it completes. You DO need to press OK on the Edit Game window for those images to be saved though, if you press cancel we discard them.

Regarding your download metadata settings when selecting multiple games, you'll notice at the top is a media limit setting. Your setting is telling us you don't want more than 1 image per image group, regardless of the number of images the game actually has. If you want all of them push the down arrow so it says "No Limit" and then run the task.

To your last point Flyers aren't an image group and so can't be selected. If you want to use Flyers in your Boxes group you can do so by changing image priority settings in the Options window (found under Tools). Check the "Advertisement - Flyer (Front)" box and then move it up or down in priority where you want them.

My god I'm blind, the limit is for Image Group... I thought it was for Media Type, that's why it wasn't downloading...

This is sad, I only want one image from each (each check box) if I select no limit it will download a bunch of Screenshots (I only need one).

lthough they could add this option in the future.

Well thanks for trying to help.

You can run the tool multiple times. Set the limit to grab the ones you want limited, then run it again and tell it to download all. We don't download images you already have and so you don't have to worry about getting duplicates doing things this way.
