Image Download Limit being ignored

[bpitt]

When importing or updating metadata, I set the image download limit to 1, but am getting 2 images in the same image group.  For example, I have the Amiga Game Banzai.  I go to Tools>Download>Update Metadata and Media for selected game and choose all media types from the Boxes image group, then do the same for EmuMovies.  This results in 2 boxes being downloaded.

1) Fanart - Box - Front (From LBDB)

2) Box - Front (From EmuMovies)

Both media types are in the same image group, so if limit was set to 1 (Per Image Group), why am I getting 2 results?  Am I missing something here?  Thanks in advance.

Launchbox version 13.18 windows

You have 2 images for that game.  One is a Box - Front image type and the other is a Fanart - Box - Front image type.

Looking at the LBDB images for that game, is doesn't contain a Box - Front image.  But it does have a Fanart - Box - Front image.  My guess is the Box - Front came from EmuMovies and happens to be the same image LaunchBox has for the Fanart image type.

 

Though, those 2 types do happen to fall into the same Box - Front 'group' (when looking at Tools < Options < Media < Box Front Priorities).

Thanks for the response, but I do not see an answer.  You just stated what I said in my original post.  The question is: If I set my limit to 1 per image group, why am I getting 2 from the same group?

Ah Snap!  Apologies.  I've always construed the limit to be per checkbox item.  But it clearly does state "group".  And honestly, I've never really paid attention that the "Group" column was even there.  (this doubly shows I need to look and read closer. )  

I'll defer to the developers.

No worries.  I appreciate the help.  I haven't paid much attention to image groups until I was auditing my systems and the audit was giving me wrong counts.  Researching that issue lead me to realize that my count was off because I had screenshots set as boxes because I wanted the game details tab to display screenshots when I was missing box art.  Anyways, after more testing it appears that this is occurring when LBDB is missing box art but the box art is available in EmuMovies.  This is also happening with screenshots.  Perhaps, the limit only applies to LBDB and not to EmuMovies.  On second look, the limit image dialog appears on LBDB screen, but not the EmuMovies screen.  Thanks again for your efforts.  Hopefully one of the developers can chime in.
