How to Remove Auto Scraped Marquee Files From Specific Game Without Deleting Images?


Recommended Posts

So when I added Terminator Salvation LB decided that all the terminator games on home consoles shared a marquee with this arcade game.  So it's like Sega CD, SNES, Genesis etc all those home console marquees are now assigned to Terminator Salvation.  If I click "remove" in LB it attempts to delete the files, so how can I keep the files yet remove them from being assigned to that game?

This seems a bit odd as each platform would have its own image folder. So if you download a marquee image for Mortal Kombat 2 for the "Arcade" platform it would file the image in the \Images\Arcade\Arcade - Marquee folder. As a result if you had Mortal Kombat 2 in your Sega Genesis platform that game would not access the image in the Arcade platform folder. It would directly access an image located in \Images\Sega Genesis\Arcade - Marquee. 

So I would say open each of the relative "Arcade - Marquee" image folders for those platforms and see if that same image is in each of them. Posting some pictures for us to see would help troubleshoot more. 

Also I deleted your other post. Please refrain from posting the same issue in multiple places.

My marquee images aren't in the LB folders, I have them elsewhere.  But in that folder each system has it's own dedicated folder.  For example "marquee images\Sega CD\Terminator, The (usa).jpg" and "marquee images\Super Nintendo Entertainment System\Terminator 2 - Judgment Day (USA).jpg" and several others. They're in different folders with different names, but the similarity pulled them into Terminator Salvation (arcade).  Same thing happened with my Killer Instinct, the marquee pulled in the SNES and Gameboy ports from their different folders.  If I hit "remove" in LB doesn't LB also attempt to delete the file or does it leave it in place?

If you are in LB and choose to remove the image LB will delete it from the folder. 

LB may not like your folder structure and is struggling to keep things separated. LB does allow you to change the default folder path for images, but it typically looks for an image by [Platform Name] > [Image Type] > [Game Name]. I have my images on a separate drive from the LB main folder, but the filing structure mirrors how LB would typically do it internally.
