REQ: .gif support as Cover Art
« on: July 20, 2003, 01:32:16 pm »

Depending on the cover, .gif is sometimes a more appropriate format for Cover Art. Are there plan to include Cover Art .gif support?

Hrm, I spoke too soon, but it doesn't appear to work using the Quick Find in File / Cover Art function.

For example, drop the Tool - Undertow graphic from Amazon in a directory. Make sure it's the only graphic file because I know MC won't try & differentiate which one is correct. Then right-click, Cover Art, Quick Find, and it won't recognize the .gif. The .gif can be found here:

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000000993.01.LZZZZZZZ.gif

Or if that link doesn't work, use this:

Or

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000000993.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

without % off

MC9 does not look at the GIF code to see if it is GIF it only looks at the extender and if the wrong extender is on the GIF then it will not show it.

I reported this a few months ago.

Thanks KingSparta, if there was a bug voting tool, I'd vote!

Neat plug-ins, by the way, I may have to try them out soon. Thanks for sharing!
