Title: Help: How do I find mising folder.jpg files from tagged files?
Post by: olarte on September 30, 2007, 11:03:58 am

After moving some  directories I now find missing folder.jpgs in the new locations.

Does someone know a query that will give me all files that have the image\art embeded in the files but are missing the corresponding folder.jpg in the folder?

I tried looking for image is not empty and image not folder.jpg but it did not work.

Thanks in advance.

MC does not automatically catalogue the cover art images as separate database items. They exist only as file tags that are called on the need basis. If your "Image File" field values are as "Inside File" then the library does not have any reference to the folder.jpg images.

Personally I have imported also the cover art images and other album related files (e.g. rip logs, album reviews, artists' biographies and other document files) to my library and when I want to move file folders I select the audio, image and document files and move them all together.

You can find more info in the cover art related links I have gathered here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=42646.msg290527#msg290527
