Image group per game

[Jørgen Kalsnes Hagen]

We are lacking a feature for image group per game. For some games you may want a different image group than for others, and therefore such a feature would be nice to have :) This could be added as a left an option when you left click on a game and/or in the edit section.

Interesting - can you give an example of when you might want to display a different image group for a game?

If a game doesn't have box-front (For example, lots of Japanese Nintendo Game Boy games).

Imagine a image group setup where you have the following priorities, from highest to lowest priority. Box-front -> Screenshot-title -> Banner Now for some games the Banner might be better than the Screenshot - title, and other games the Screenshot-title will be best. But because Screenshot-title is higher prioritized it will always show that instead of Banner. The option to edit and mass edit image group for selected games would be a really easy way to get the pictures you want. You could of course label the Banner photo as a Screenshot-title photo instead, but that would cause problems if the pictures are ever updated.

I hope that explained it, if not feel free to ask more

Coincidentally, I made a bunch of 3D boxes for the Japanese Game Boy games. Happy to share them if you're interested. I think they look fairly good, though I cheated with the (narrow) side art as it's simply the front cover squashed into the side. Due to the angle you can't really see it though, so in the absence of anything better I'm happy with it :)

Your explanation is fine, and I think it's a good request - hence I have voted for it.

It would be too much work for me personally, but it would be awesome if you uploaded those to Gamesdb (link below).

You can upload them, more easily with this plugin called "Add to Games DB". Link below if you're interested:

Thanks Jorgen, I will definitely look into that when I have time.
