I swear we used to have an option somewhere that went along the lines of "remove unused coverart".
Maybe I was dreaming?
Anyhoo..
After quite some time, the coverart directory can become littered with orphan coverart files and managing those has been a problem in the past, and a time consuming one at that. I wonder.....
brb..
ever wish you had'nt started something, LOL...
I thought that I could say "save in tags also" then update tags from library on all files, thus placing the image inside all files that would accept one. then delete all the files in the specified directory and do an update library from tags and have the image files saved back into the directory.
flawed in places, I know, but a non-starter anyway because it doesn't appear to work that way.
It would seem that update tags from library after setting MC to save in tags copies the image to the file. deleting the file from the specified folder, then doing an update library on it does not copy the image file to the specified folder.
Choosing not to save in the tags, then doing an update from library does not remove the image from the tags??
Surely it should?
this sent me off on a tangent... if you're curious, it led me back to this thread:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=32139.msg220663#msg220663where we were discussing tagging in general.
I've now broken the save in tags system, with 'update tags from library' no longer placing the image inside the file. I'm tired. I may return to this later, I may not.
