This seems to work.......

This is how I thought it would work if you picked just the first button.  :)

Thanks.

I have been thinking about that anyway

How is this

[X] If I Have Art For The Media File, Check Server For Art And Download It If It Is Larger.

[X] If I Don't Have Art For The Media File, Check To See If I Have Art Local First, If Not Download It

Or Settings For Manual Mode And For Batch Mode

Also

I Deleted The Button "View Image" Now If You Just Click On The Image In The List It Downloads It And Displays It, If It Is In The Download Folder Already It Just Shows It. This Made Room For Me To Give More Room To Other Buttons And It Is Less Work For The User.

Isn't this the same thing?  I guess I am confused by the 2nd choice:

[X] If I Don't Have Art For The Media File, Check To See If I Have Art Local First, If Not Download It

If I don't have art - why check locally?  Maybe I am not sure what you mean by locally.

I think the options should be:

[X] If I Have Art For The Media File, Check Server For Art And Download It If It Is Larger (and/or get art that meets my size specifications)

[X] If I Don't Have Art For The Media File -  Download It

[X] Ignore my art and always download art

I am not sure why someone would ever use the last option but since you have that in the current build - I guess there is a reason.

I also am not exactly sure what the following option does:

Clear art between media files.

And I like your last update of displaying the image highlighted - one thing that would be nice with this is to be able to display the file or image size along with that - because the only way to really tell how big the image is is to goto the display all pictures option.


Hope this helps.

Clear art between media files.

It Is For Batch Mode Only, And That Will be Clear On The Next Build

Orginaly When A User Scanned For Images And A Image Was Downloaded And Applied You Would See Basicly A Blink Of The Downloaded Image. But It Was Displaying The Correct Art For The Currently Displayed Media File.

Someone Said It Went By Too Fast, So I Added An Option To Hold That Art Until Another Image Was Found In The File, Or Downloaded.

So You May See An Image That Was 3 Files Ago If In The Last 2 Images No Art Was Found.

Well It Is Not The Same

Lets Say You Have A Album Called "C:\My Music\Beatles\White Album"

And 6 out Of The 12 Songs On The Album Have Art, The Other 6 Did Not Have Art Or MC Lost it For What Ever Reason Or The Path Was Broken.

You May Want That Art To be The Same As The Other 6 That Has Art.

So Basicly The Plug-in Will Check For Local Art:

C:\My Music\Beatles\White Album\folder.jpg
C:\My Music\Beatles\White Album\Beatles - White Album.jpg
C:\My Cover Art\Beatles - White Album.jpg

If Not Found In The Local Spots Where Are Would Be The Plug-In Will Then Get Art From The Server, And Get That Art Per The Users Settings.

In the Next version The User Can Set The Search Order How Ever They Want To.

The Same Is True If In The Album There Was 12 Tracks.

On the first track the plug-in did not find the track local so it gets it from the server. the other 11 tracks could be taken from the local area. this not only speeds up the plug-in to make it faster for the user but also puts less work on the server.
