    Hi all!
    Sometimes I add a new rom and scrape it manually from GUI, just for a single rom.
    It works fine, but always downloads the cover image, and I want the screenshot.
    From command line I'm able to get all screenshots, but I want to do it manually from gui too.
    How can I manage it? Is it possible?

      No.

      A really cool way to use screenshots as scraped images is using your own screenshots. Look what you need to do here: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Take-and-Scrape-Your-Own-Screenshots/

      I suggest the method 2.

        @meleu now now meleu no need to tell people things arent possible. Everything is possible with the magic of programming! Currently a feature, no. Possible in the future yes :) (by that I mean when someone skilled in coding with a motivation for it adds it :p)

            Thanks, meleu
            Already know how to get my own screenshots, also how to scrape manually, but not what I was looking for.
            I thought ES calls internal scraper using some kind of (customizable) config file.
            It's a pitty it doesn't :-( this is one of the most important parts of emulation: getting a preview of the games and not the boxes covers.
