This morning I wanted to snag the cover art from inside a new online album purchase so I usually right click on a file and choose "Save Cover Art to location specified in Options"



My "location" to save Cover art is here



But when I go to the location specified in Options...in Windows Explorer - I do not see the file extracted.

To my surprise - I finally found the extracted image - sitting in the folder the tracks were in?

I guess I am confused as to what is the order of operations here. Is MC using the "Audio Mode" (In The Same folder as the file) when I click "save cover art to External Location specifed in Options"?

Should it not be saving the file - in my case - to D:\Pictures\Album Art\Export

Bug? By Design?

I'm pretty sure you need to have "in specified folder" selected for that to work.

Thanks Brian.

The way this is presented on screen (Options-Cover Art) is a tad confusing tho.

If one has selected "Audio Mode: In the same folder as the file" - the ...Folder option just below it should be greyed out and not selectable whatsoever. If my target is the source file folder - then specifying a path too - makes no sense.

Conversely if the user selects (Audio Mode: In a specified folder") - then the user should be able to select a custom path and see the art appear there.

But as it stands now - with an audio mode that does not apply to the folder path visible (as in my case) - the word "specified" in the menu makes me think it means my "specific" path I see there and not (In the same folder as the file).

This could be presented a bit better.

EDIT: I flipped to Audio Mode: In a specified folder - with my same custom folder path in place - and the files still do not show up?

I see MC doing something when I choose "save cover art to external location specifed in options) but it's not placing cover art in my Export folder. I have no idea where it went...

I’ve noticed this too…
Even though I have these settings…

‘Audio mode: In a specified folder’
‘Folder: F:\JRiver Artwork\Audio\Album Covers\

Look in your users folder in… \AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 21\Temp.
That’s where mine have been turning up.

Correct you are! Just found a boatload of files hanging out there - including the files I just "saved" in the previous post.

Okay MC dev guys - this function is completely busted.

How does " \AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 21\Temp" suddenly get involved in saving Cover Art?

Now - I do see that path in Options - under Program Files->Temporary files.

Clearly there is a problem here.
