Auto detection of cover art (folder.jpg) for documents
« on: March 27, 2011, 12:39:37 pm »

Hi. I'm adding some documents now in Media Centre and because they are books actually (.pdf or .mht) I want to display them with their covers. I place the cover as folder.jpg in the folder of the book. Can it be automatically detected the same way as it is detected on video files?

And another  idea - when adding manually image (Cover Art -> Add from File...) it should open right away the folder where the file is located because in most cases cover art is there too. This way it won't be necessary to browse to the folder each time.

it does not work for documents, you have to change media type temporarily to video..

How to change the media type? I suppose you mean to make temporarily the documents to be treated by MC as video files.

I have looked the the last couple of days through all of the settings of the MC, but don't remember seeing such an option.

"media type" is a field, add it to the action window or list view, then change it to video, add coverart change back
