This wouldn't work for me. I really like the "View Extras" capability, as I often have scans of inserts in a directory. I don't always name them the same way, for a variety of reasons, e.g., I don't want to keep repeating a long title name that in effect makes it harder to find things. So, sometimes, it's just "booklet.pdf" or "The Story of...". I use this a lot for audio, not at all for video.

I've been looking for a way to quickly play a trailer for a movie for years. I've tried placing the trailer in the same folder as the video, and also in an "Extras" sub-folder. The trailer has the exact same name as the video file, except a .mp4 extension instead of an .mkv extension. What am I doing wrong?

Negasonic:
Thanks for this feature. This is something I've wanted for a long time  :)

It works great as long as you have the dedicated folder with "extras" in the same folder as the music files. For me (and I suspect a lot of other users) there is a problem when you have multi disc albums and the tracks are sorted into separate folders.

So for a 2-disc album I have 3 folders:

CD1
CD2
covers

In this case I won't be able to see the pictures in the "covers" folder since that folder is not together with the tracks.

I can of course change this if I move and bundle all tracks together into one folder, but wanted to check first if there is any other solution. Would it be possible to have the program check a step up in the folder tree for a folder with the appropriate name? 

Matt:
We could possibly add ..\ to the list of subfolders to search so that we'd search the path above the current file.

Would that do what you wanted?

I'm trying to think if there are any gotchas to that, but I haven't really thought of any.

Matt:
Jim says you have it like this:

Parent folder
    Artist folder
       Album 1
       Album 2
       Cover

So then my idea wouldn't work since that would only search the artist folder.

Is that how you have files structured?
