album art doesn't show picture that was placed in folder

So I placed some covers into their respective album folders and titled them "front.jpg" (or .png if it's a png).

They used to actually show up, now when I open f2k, there is no album art showing up.

here's what it looks like: http://i.imgur.com/U53Ic.png

the albums that came with embedded album art show the cover, the ones where i added an image don't show anything. Restarting f2k doesn't work.

any ideas on how I can fix this?

You omitted to mention what has changed in the interim.

nothing at all! I haven't changed a single thing, I've only added a few more albums to my library. But i doubt that's the reason for what's happening now.

Looks you're using Columns UI.

Have you added the sources to the following as well?

Preferences > Display > Columns UI > Artwork
Windows 10 Pro x64 // foobar2000 1.3.10

That's it! There was nothing under sources for some reason, so I entered "front" for Front Cover, and now it works.

Thanks a lot for your help!
