My problem regarding background images
Feature description
Something that has always bothered me is the lack of options when scrapping background images, I would like to be able to press F5 or CTRL+D and have Playnite ask me which background to choose for each game in my library, the same way Extra Metadata does, this is currently done by Playnite automatically without giving the user the opportunity to choose which media they want, also it wouldn't be bad to be able to choose which media I want to show in the grid view, switch between Cover/Icon/Background and thus have a panoramic view of the background images without having to go into editing per game.
This is not handled by Playnite but by metadata plugins you are using. They are in control of how each image will be downloaded and selected, which includes any potential dialogs shown to a user.
And if this is about web image search you can manually call via game edit dialog, then that's intentionally not available for bulk downloads in any way because you would get instantly flagged as a bot buy Google and the entire image search would be blocked.

Perfect, what about being able to swap media in grid view? Imagine you have 500 games with background images, many of these images don't match the game in question or are of poor quality, you want to change them, but you have to click one by one to see their background images, it's a task that could be simplified if you could display the background images in a grid view, so you could say CTRL + Click on all the backgrounds you want to remove and then press F3 > Remove Backgrounds.
Hey @JosefNemec, have you thought about what I mentioned on backgrounds on a grid view? Does Playnite have a way to present the library's backgrounds in a grid view and be able to, let's say, work on them in batch mode, like mass deleting, mass editing, and so like? The current way to do it would be to select each game one by one and press F3 to edit the background images, again, one by one.
