Configurable Custom Image Types

📋 Summary

Allow users to create their own custom image types, similar to Custom Fields, without requiring support from the LaunchBox Games Database.

❗ Problem

Right now, custom media has to be stored under unrelated built-in image types. For example, bezel or shader screenshots may need to be saved as Steam Screenshot just to keep them separate from scraped screenshots.

💡 Proposal

Let users:

  • Create custom image types with their own names

  • Assign them to an existing image group like Screenshot Images, Background Images, or Box Images

  • Optionally use a dedicated Custom Images group

  • Set view priority for those custom image types in the Options window

Example: Screenshot - Bezel

📦 Benefits

  • Keeps custom media separate from scraped media

  • Reduces awkward workarounds

  • Gives users more flexibility in organizing personal collections

💡 Notes

This should be optional, local only, and not tied to the LaunchBox database.
