Well, I've tried every permutation of pointing RCB toward local files **which are named identically to the ROM names** and I've had zero luck in getting them to show up. I've tried even going to the extent of deleting the entire rom collection, deleting the thumbs13 file in Kodi, rebooting, re-scanning and pointing to local content - and it still won't show up. I've seen comments from the coder (malte?) stating that the local scraping option can be ran after scraping the Internet for descriptions, etc. but that simply does not work. I run a local scraper after scanning giantbomb.com, archive.vg, etc. for descriptions and whatnot - some games have some things, some games have images that are sub-par. I have high-res box images for basically everything in my collection but for some unknown reason RCB refuses to import them into my library. Is this a difficult thing to shake out? This seems to be a common complaint.
EDIT - Wouldn't you know it - I complain and all of the sudden they show up. I did literally nothing different from any other scan I've done over the past two days.

This is a bit far-fetched but seeing most of us having problems with scraping due to rom names and broken script, can we pick one naming standard like No-Intro for cartridges and Redump for cd based games?
That way we can share nfo files and boxarts with each other and don't have to worry about fixing wrong online scrapping entries which consume lots of time.
Since there are only finite rom sets and systems out there we can have a central place to share all the arts and nfo files of all the systems without having each and everyone of us scrapping the same system over and over again.
Thought?

Is there any way for me to hard set art work? Just like click on the selected rom and say, "Here's the path - use this."? The scraper refuses to import the image even though it's named exactly like the rom file and, to be honest, I've put far too much time into simply getting an image to display correctly already.

Are you sure the paths in rcb are set appropriately? I mean if you edit collection and go down to art work a scroll between all of them are they mapped to appropriate directory? If so what you may want to do delete rom from collection delete all associated artwork then clean library. Place appropriate artwork back in directory and import using local nfo.
If that doesn't work check check out the logs and the DB to see what's going on
