Title: "View all media" question
Post by: garylynch on February 11, 2014, 03:40:42 am

I know it must be in here somewhere but how do I view all media together, so I can move Cover Art when renaming albums?  Older versions used to move the cover art and delete the old folder but I now have a ton of folders hanging about with just the cover art in them, as MC19 hasn't moved them!  So, am thinking I need to have something similar to the old "All Media view" so I can include the cover art when re-tagging, so it will delete old empty folders....please help!  Have tried putting cover art in discrete folder but really want to keep them with the albums, properly named....

Customize the view, and disable the setting to use parent rules for file display.

Sorry - next (related) question....

What I would really like to do with cover art is store it according to my normal directory naming rules (e.g. directory = album, filename = track# - name - artist....that way if I'm renaming files/albums etc., it will pick up the art and move that too, deleting the old folders.  I have tried Folder.jpg, storing inside file, storing separately in external directory but none of them appear to update the cover art name if I re-name/re-tag in MC19....

Is there a way to achieve what I want to do?  If not, what's the best way of storing cover art so it does get renamed/moved when albums are updated?  Otherwise I end up with a lot of folders with just the .jpg file in it, with the wrong name!

I could live with manually tagging all cover art too if that was the only way to achieve this, but I can't seem to get to an editable version of tags with jpgs on MC19.

Thanks!
