- The ability to have the files named after the actual title of the game and not the "slug" title of it. Would make them look a lot more presentable and easier to look through and I remember at least 1 game where the slug was mislabeled to not even match the actual game anymore.
The game title is more prone to name changes though, but if you want to have the game name as a folder title, set in config.cfg the value of "game-name" to "%gamename%".
- The ability to separate the extras into different types. While I wouldn't mind keeping the manuals or references, I wouldn't really care to save the Soundtracks (MP3 or FLAK) or Avatars, or Wallpapers and stuff like that. And I am a betting there are plenty who do like the soundtracks who would love to get the FLAK versions of them and ignore the MP3 version.
Sorting out what extras are what is a bit iffy, because there are no binding standard rules if a soundtrack is tagged as such one or how it is named, although many are similar named.
Maybe the transformation feature already covers that with some proper rules (see https://github.com/Sude-/lgogdownloader/issues/238#issuecomment-1509937599).
- This is something I don't really see as something to ever be implemented but also have it download copies of the artwork from the page, it's description, and otherwise to be used with maybe an addon for Playnite or maybe a future Heroic Launcher to be used as a full on offline browser for it. Basically have all your stuff ripped to a storage drive and then have your own offline launcher choose to install or play them.
Some of the stuff is already covered, via
--save-game-details-json ( doesn't really work that the JSON will be dumped into the game directory, should be fixed ) --save-product-json ( seems also not to work, at least there is no JSON in the game directory ) --save-icon ( saves the game icon ) --save-logo (doesn't really work either, it seems to save the icon instead, should be fixed)
Maybe there should be an additional "--save-screenshots", "--save-herobanner" for the banner image and "--save-background" option, but I suggest, all these save options should be merged into one, where one can list analogue to the language option the things what should be saved can be combined or just if it's only the switch itself or "all" that everything should be grabbed and deposited. Perhaps put that stuff into a "media/" folder except for the banner / icon for folder icon preview purposes.
Something like: --save-media all | icon,logo,hero/banner,background,screenshots

Just started using this and thank you for that, but some possible suggestions. If these have already been asked or implemented, I apologize.
