Scraper collects images but dumps them in the wrong directory, images are not shown for roms

[enduranceman]

So the title pretty much. I ran the following command for scraper on my system

# scraper -add_not_found true -append true -console_img "mix3,3b,b" -console_src "ss,ovgdb,gdb" -image_dir "/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/downloaded_images/nes" -image_path "/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/nes" -img_workers 4 -max_height 600 -missing "/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/nes/missing.txt" -retries 2 -rom_dir "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nes/" -rom_path "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nes/" -ss_password "REMOVED_OBVIOUSLY" -ss_username "REMOVED_OBVIOUSLY" -workers 4

Looking over it I already see some errors, but interestingly it didn't dump the images in my intended target location OR the location actually specified in -image_dir. Instead it dumped all the images in a NEW directory it created at /home/pi/images

Looking at these images, it also downloaded the standard 2d boxart, last in my list of preferred source images below a mix and 3-d boxart.

I am using the standard nointro NES romset, so these are not obscure titles.

What is wrong with my command?

I believe I may have found the issue with my command. The output of scraper -help shows flags in the following format:

-image_dir directory
The directory to place downloaded images to locally. (default "images")

I believe this SHOULD be input as -image_dir="directory" rather than -image_dir "directory"

I'm running the command again with an = between flags and contents, this is now collecting the correct type of image and placing it in the proper location. This still doesn't explain why the images weren't visible after a reboot once the scraper had finished before with the wrong command though. Any idea why that might be?

For anyone that stumbles upon this post in the future, the fix was to delete all instances of gamelist.xml (can be found by issuing sudo find / -name gamelist.xml), the downloaded images sudo rm -fv ~/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/nes/*, and then ran the command again.
