Cover art problems
« on: January 12, 2006, 01:12:29 pm »

I just resized my entire collection of cover art to 300x300 using a batch resizing program. I deleted the cover art out of the cover art folder and put in the newly resized ones and then fired up MC11.

First thing i noticed was that any cover art that was resized, about 60% of my collection was all ready 3000x300, now doesn't show up in my track info visualizations. So i went and removed all the cover art from the thumbnails and then did a quick find and got all the art back.

Questions:

1. I still had about 130 albums out of 1,000 not displaying cover art becuase the artist/album names don't match exactly to what the cover art is named, is there a way to put a fudge factor into an expression or something so if 80% of the tag is correct it will find the art?

2. It would be nice if there was a way that we could force all cover art to be a certain size in the future or can this be done now?

3. i previsously asked this and didn't get a answer, but how come when one deletes cover art and the folder they still remain behind? is there some way to go back afterwards and delete all the unused cover art and folders?

Thanks

TC

MC does not handle the cover art files unless they are part of the media library. The music files just have links to the image files.

You could make a separate temporary copy of your library and import the actual image files. After that you can use MC tools for:
- filling the Artist and Album fields from the filenames
- comparing the tagged image files with the music files
- renaming the images if needed.

If you have MC11.1 you must create a view scheme that can show the image and music files at the same time.

I have imported and tagged my cover art files. Usually I have more than one for each album. You may want to search what I have written about my system.

Alex B Is there any current events for the fifth planet from the Sun?

Jupiter (a.k.a. Jove; Greek Zeus) the King of the Gods, the ruler of Olympus and the patron of the Roman state. Zeus was the son of Cronus (Saturn).

Or Is That Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun

Saturn the god of agriculture. The associated Greek god, Cronus, was the son of Uranus and Gaia and the father of Zeus (Jupiter). Saturn is the root of the English word "Saturday"
