Is there a log file that records missing artwork / media based on what BigBox is doing?

For example - User navigates to a SNES game

SNES game is missing:

"Video, Marquee, clear logo"

Is there a log file somewhere that says "this theme tried to load these images/videos - not found"

?

No I don't believe any of the image controls have logging entries in them that says, "hey this image type was asked of us but we didn't find it". Closest thing to something like that is our Games Missing Media sidebar view in LaunchBox proper that helps you select items in your library based on what image group it has missing

Let me explore missing media sidebar again.  

I was hoping something theme related in bigbox though.   I don't care if i'm missing media i'm not using.   And its not always obvious what themes are exactly using.

Like.   How awesome would this be?

Load a new platform/playlist.   Download zero media.  Open Bigbox, set theme I want for that platform/playlist.  Let it run for a minute or three.   Then go look at the logs.  "oh, this theme needs xyz" - go back to launchbox and start scraping.   Then re-review as missing items show up.

 Games Missing Media sidebar view in LaunchBox

Where can I find this tool?   I was just looking around in Launchbox and its not listed in any of the pull down menus.

The sidebar on the left. The drop down where you can pick things like "Platform", "Platform Categories", "Genre", etc. There should be one in there called "Games Missing Media". It'll probably ask to scan your library for missing media when you select it. Say yes for the most accurate results.
