Over the years, I've developed two distinct ways of dealing with cover art.  The first, if the album is complete, is that it is stored in the directory with the music itself.  However, for singles, I store all that cover art in a single directory that MC considers the Track Image Location.  Currently, there are 1,364 images in this directory.  MC works fine, but it's getting rather full.

Is there a way that I can break up those files, say putting them in alphabetically directories or time-coded ones, and still have MC find the files with 'Quick Find?'  I've noticed it doesn't do recursive scans of the Track Image Location.  Is it possible to get this added, or is it more trouble than it's worth ?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Why not save it in the file itself?

that's not really that much.

Because I've never really thought that was the best way to go about it.  Not only does it cost disk space in the long run, but I've found it's easier to add new singles from old albums with the cover art in a central location.

And, no, I understand that it's not much.  But the numbesr really aren't the point.  My main question is whether or not we can get the option for recursive Quick-Find searches ?  Of course, if nobody else wants it, then there's no point in pursuing it.

I think MC should do what you say even more so when it effects access speed.

and i brought this up about a year ago when i had over 50,000 cover art pictures.

(14,000+ in fat 32 it quits) So you must use WinNt Format

I can't imagine it would affect access speeds except during the Quick Find process.  Everything else should work fine, since it will have the address in the library at that point.  Right ?
