hi,
I have jpegs in the music folders but when I run thru the sources (first, next etc.) they don't load.
Any ideas on what I might do?
thanks

The file is image is called: Buddy Guy - Estival Jazz Lugano 2002_front
That's it, no extensions. Sorry, I don't know what the term sourcelist means.
Please be patient.
thanks
right click on album art preferences Soruces, edit the first to say:
$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)%artist% - %album% %year%_front.*
$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)%artist% - %album% %year%_front.*
He has no extension on his file so you'll need to remove the '.', so:
$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)%artist% - %album% %year%_front*
Should work, however I would suggest you DO put extensions on your files if they are standard. eg the '.jpg' is standard. I can't really think of a good reason not to have extensions.

Actually, (and this hasn't been documented on the Wiki yet), recent versions of foo_uie_albumart require images to have a standard image extension, otherwise it won't load them. The current list of acceptable extensions is "jpg;jpeg;gif;png;bmp;tif;tiff". The reason this change was made was to speed up the search for images, especially when using wildcards, by excluding files that probably aren't images.
sperk: You have two options: 1) add ".jpg" to all of your images, or 2) use an older version of foo_uie_albumart (version 0.2.4 or earlier, available on my plugin page).
He has "Display File Extentions" off, duh.... I highly doubt he doesnt have file extentions.

this worked, thanks.
What can I do if there are two pics, back and front (cover)? It automatically takes the back cover (alphabetically lower) - is there any way to get to the front cover?
Change your source to:
If want to be able to cycle between the front and back images, add the following as a second source:
CODE
$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*front.*
