Too many image files when downloading - can global limits be applied?

[G Becker]

Hello, i have recently spent a lot of time reinstalling all of launchbox as i had a computer die. It was a good time to start from scratch.

i note that when downloading images / metadata that there are often several images for the same thing - i.e. Box -Front (3), Fanart background (9), etc.

There is no way (that i am aware of) to limit the download to one (1) version of each file, (or 2,3,etc).

I understand that the file chosen (if i limit to 1) may not be the best version - but i would prefer to edit those by exception, rather than download several and then have to delete many.

‌

Can a “global maximum download of each image type” be a setting please? Have this adjustable from 1 to all.

In manual metadata and image download a check box to say “just down load (1) of each image type would help too.

‌

thanks for a great system.

For screenshots and fanart backgrounds this seems like a good idea, i generally just want one gameplay screenshot and one title screenshot just in case there is no video being scraped, i see no need for multiple screenshots as Big Box does not cycle through them anyway (at least not with the default theme, last time i checked)
