I'm not sure if this is a SNES only problem, but how might we deal with the different region releases in terms of auto scraping the thumbs and fanart/screens?
For example, a LOT of snes games were released in Japan, Europe and the US. When manually scraping the images, I'd just scroll through the few different images and select the US ones. With the auto-scraping now enabled, I see that a large chunk of the games come in with the Japan box art.
The majority of box images (I've only looked at my snes collection thus far, but would imagine this to be the same for many systems) seem to be using the naming convention of "Game Name (xx)" where (xx) is either JP, EU or US. I believe that currently AL just takes the first image on the list. Is there a way for AL to select the desired region based on a setting - globally or by launcher?
Fanart/screens don't seem to employ the same (xx) regional coding, but I don't find these as important, since the game play is typically the same, whereas the box images will have game name in a foreign language.
