I am new to this site and new to foobar. Longtime mediamonkey user. Anyway, i really like foobar, and i'm going to start a _complete_ beginner's guide, as the current ones are still kind of tough to understand, and not very comprehensive. However, i am still trying to get my own setup running so...
with the album art mod installed in columns UI, is it possible make a script that will import images in no matter what they are called, in other words, a script that will import all of the images in the file's directotry no matter what they are named, and then maybe switch between them in intervals. is that possible? im completely new to scripting
and also, can i use the embedded album art that much of my music has? If not, how can i de-embed the album art into the containing folder?
sorry this is so long. Thanks in advance.
Full Version: album art help?

Yes. Use the following as the first source, and check the option "Cycle all wildcard matches" on the "Behaviour" tab.
CODE
$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*
To have them switch in intervals, enable the option "Cycle sources during playback".

No, foo_uie_albumart cannot access embedded art.
its been awhile; i had some hardware problems 
anyway, this is the code i have come up with from your help and others:
it works great for going between images in the same foler the music is in,
but is there a way to add something so that it will look in the sub-folders of the music as well?
I apologize if this is a dumb question, i am still learning.
again, thanks for the help.

CODE
