Title: H2 extract cover art and save as folder.jpg?
Post by: sapnho on December 07, 2004, 01:11:21 am
I remember a thread a few months ago where King Sparta described how to extract embedded cover art and save it as folder.jpg. The whole process was fairly automated. However I don't remember exactly how it works and had no luck using the cover art finder. The search function in the forum didn't turn anything up either. Can somebody help? Thanks!

Copy and paste?

Thanks.

The whole process was once explained very well by King but I can't find it! ::)

I'm interested in extracting embedded cover art saving it as folder.jpg (or, much better, a self defined name) without erasing the embedded ones.

I have a special Media Receiver who needs this operation.

Any way to to do this?

maybe i should make a new plug-in to make it easy and maybe put one button on it. i think i can can make one without a help file it should only take a few hours (if that).

I was thinking about buying sue some extra thick garbage bags for when i die so we can save the money if i die first.

Not sure if i should go with Glad or Hefty (i like the tripple lock bags).

PS: Sue wants to cremate me, sometimes i think before it's time

PSS: I will make this plug-in but it will only work on MC11 (all my MC10 and < tools are missing and i forgot where they are).

Ok here is something to play with

www.spartasoft.com/folderjpg (http://www.spartasoft.com/folderjpg)

it does have a help file, start page, setup tab, blaa, blaa, blaa

closing this thread

if you have anything to add, pick this back up in the 3rd party plug-in

I tested it, it worked.

here is a link to the 3rd party forum

this New beta Plug-in will take your internal or external coverart that is linked to a media file and copy it to the album folder as folder.jpg

it is fast since it is just copying and not looking for new art at the same time.

if you find any bugs or want something added let me know here
oh and it is for MC11 only.
