So I did a fresh install and during the import process it no longer gives the option to download bezels. Am I missing something?

I've never done the download bezels feature so I won't be able to help you.  But for someone who might be able to help you, what you're missing could possibly be providing some details on how you're going about doing what you're trying to do.

How are you importing the games? Tools Menu? Drag & Drop? A group (or folder) of files? Just one file at a time?  Letting the Auto Import feature do its thing?

What emulator are you selecting as the emulator?  MAME? RetroArch? Dolphin? Xemu?

My method is ----- >tools>import>romfiles>single platform.  This then brings up the import roms wizard. I'll then proceed with the wizard selecting the various options. One of these options usually asks about installing bezels, but it no longer gives that option, it skips it.

This is on a fresh install, it worked fine previously.

The reason I asked which emulator you are selecting to use is, I believe the "Download Bezels from The Bezel Project?" part of the Import Wizard only appears when selecting RetroArch or MAME as your emulator. 

I also believe the wizard looks at the actual executable filename (vs the name/title you gave the emulator). So, "retroarch.exe" and "mame.exe".  I don't know if it looks for forks of MAME like "mameui.exe".

During the import process, the wizard asks if you want to install Retroarch , I select yes. Proceed in the wizard and no install bezels option appears...

EDIT. Just tried it with import Mame full set and the option is there for bezels...

I just ran a test to confirm what you're experiencing.

Tools < Import < ROM Files < Single Platform

In my case I selected a folder "Nintendo 64".  It auto-detected the platform and then gave the option to install RetroArch. Choosing "Install RetroArch", the wizard proceeds without giving the option to download bezels.

 

Test #2, same steps but instead of having LaunchBox automatically install the emulator, I selected "Manually Configure Emulator".  Added a new emulator (RetroArch) and continuing through the wizard, the "Download Bezels from The Bezel Project?" screen appeared this time.

 

My guess as to what's happening is, when choosing "Install RetroArch", RetroArch isn't technically installed until the end of the Import process. So the wizard doesn't "see" retroarch,.exe and skips the bezel section.

 

The good thing is, it'll only do that once. Or at least until RetroArch exists as an emulator.  The bad thing is it happens once. 

The easy fix is to re-add those games and the wizard this time should show the bezel option screen.  Subsequent platforms using RetroArch as the emulator should see the bezel option screen during the import wizard as well.

Feel free to report a bug here:  Feedback - LaunchBox  This way the developers will have a 1st hand report of the bug and can process accordingly. (Rather than them sifting through oodles of Forum threads.)
