Custom Image Groups/New Image Priorities

Issue #7598 new
Anthony Parker created an issue

Hello all!

It would be awesome to have the ability to create new image groups and define the image priorities for them.

For example, I’d like to have a custom playlist’s “Boxes” image group to show “Steam Poster” image type as the top priority, including non-Steam games (basically, just an art box from SteamGridDB with a 900x600 resolution). In order to do that, I’d have to change an image type’s priority, such as “Box Front”, so that “Steam Poster” is higher in the view priority than “Box - Front”. But in other platforms or categories where I use the “Boxes” image group with the desire to show only “Box - Front” with the highest priority, games that have Steam Posters would show the “Steam Poster” first while others would show “Box - Front”.

There doesn’t seem to be the ability to set image priorities based on the playlist/console selected, only at a global level. Having custom image groups and potentially a longer list of image type priority configurations (Steam Poster isn’t in the list, for example) would help with customizing box views for each platform/category/playlist.

    I second that.

    I’m using a BigBox theme which shows Box Front as image, which I use most, but for some systems I use Cart Front images, so what I do is that I put the Cart Front images inside the Box Front images folder to “fool” BigBox to use them as Front Box images.
