Title: Cover art not being applied from 11.1
Post by: hottuna on December 02, 2006, 09:38:05 am

I installed v12 and none of the cover art I had in v11.1 showed up.  So I copied my cover art file below the Media Center 12 directory and set the In Specific Folder option in Tools / Options / File Location to the cover art folder I just created. 

When I select files and use Image / Add From File or Image / Get From Internet the cover art is applied, but it doesn't pick up the cover art when I use Image / Quick Find. 

I've got thousands of cover art files I don't particularly want to apply manually, and getting them from the internet is going to take a long time.   Any ideas what might be going wrong?

thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I suggest you Customize Current View to add a tag called Image File.  This will give you a hint of what's going on.

If the value is Inside File, that means the cover art is embedded in the file.

If it is empty - it is empty

If there is another value, it should be a path name that points to the image file.  I suspect that this is your situation.  You have set your options to point to a specific directory, you do a quick find and expect it to find everything, but there is already a value in this tag.  If that is the case, you should be able to clear this tag and do a quick find again.  Test it a a few records to see if that does it.

Thanks Randy. I added the Image File tag and they are empty. When I do a Quickfind should it find the tag in the cover art directory?  It doesn't, the only way I can add an image is if I "add from file", Quickfind doesn't work. The files are named using the format artist - album.jpg
