📋 Summary
Add optional alternate image subcategories for existing media types, such as alternate box art slots for standard and variant releases.
❗ Problem
Some games have multiple legitimate versions of the same artwork, such as standard retail covers, Greatest Hits releases, Platinum editions, Player’s Choice versions, and other alternate packaging.
Right now, there is no clean built-in way to keep those versions separate within the same image category. Users who want to preserve alternate box art have to overwrite one version, ignore the others, or use awkward workarounds.
💡 Proposal
Add optional alternate image slots for existing categories, such as:
Box - Front - Alt 1
Box - Back - Alt 1
Box - Spine - Alt 1
Box - 3D - Alt 1
These could be disabled by default and only shown when enabled in Options, so they do not add clutter for users who do not need them.
📦 Benefits
Makes it easier to preserve multiple official artwork variants
Helps collectors organize alternate retail versions cleanly
Avoids overwriting or mislabeling existing art
Keeps the feature optional for users who want a simpler setup
💡 Notes
This is a narrower request than full custom image types.
Configurable Custom Image Types
The focus here is on built-in alternate versions of existing categories, mainly for variant box art and similar media.
