I second that!

In my opinion, currently (0.9.5.1) missing is an option to choose which art has priority: embedded or the one found in directory.

Personally, I'd prefer folder over embedded as a default, but I could also live with a configuration option to choose my preference.

I have a tag that is simply the base filename of the art that I want to display. Then I add "front", "back", "insert", or whatever else to narrow it down further if I have multiple scans. This solves EVERY problem I've had, including those "2 albums on 1 CD" discs. Adding this tag to every track on an album takes less than a second with a custom keyboard shortcut that runs a script.

I certainly don't expect the new UI to allow that sort of flexibility, but I am very suprised at how limited it is for people like me who keep album art separate from the music.

Still desperately checking every beta changelog for some progress concerning the default ui album art viewer... but nothing new, yet

Is there at least still the consideration of making the album art viewer a little more customizable? The argument that the average Joe doesn't need a configurable album art viewer is feeble, as the average Joe isn't a candidate to use foobar2k in the first place...

Why not give us at least just a little flexibility, e. g. setting wildcards of our?
The 'new' default ui has really grown dear to me, but not being able to display my scanned cover art is just annoying, more than ever because making the album art viewer a little more flexible wouldn't be too hard at all, would it?

Kind regards & keep up the good work,
dreamscene

I together with my friends would highly appreciate if Default UI's Cover Art component was able to cycle all graphics from the current (playing from) folder.

Thank you in advance,
r.a.

dreamscene just wrote exactly what I'd wanted to. I second and third it. foosion, please mark this as a feature request? Please? Pretty please?

Additionally, the following features would also be lovely:
1. Ability to cycle through "Front", "Back", "Disc", etc., by single/double-clicking the album art.
2. Opening up the picture file in the default viewer (if it is a folder.jpg or other non-embedded picture file) via a right-click menu (or possibly, double-clicking).
3. (If it is technically feasible to override the embedded art): Ability to choose which to display when both embedded art and folder art are present.

Thanks for making the best music player out there (and for keeping it free).

Cheers.

Will the "cycle sources" option be implemented or is it impossible for technical reason ?

Like some other people, I'm still waiting for some progress on this UIElement, cause for now, I can't use DefaultUI because I really miss Album Art Panel.

I'd like to see artist.jpg as a standard for album art viewer. I renamed all my artist.jpg to disc.jpg but that isn't of course what i really want.

What does icon do? what name must a jpg have to be shown in that field?

I don't know if this is the correct thread or not, but It'd be nice if foobar would show the first cover in a group instead of showing [multiple items].

Why?

Well, in my case this happens when:
1) You click on an album where all the songs have embedded covers, since they're from the same album, they're most likely the same.
2) You click on an album that is split into 2 CD folders and each folder has a folder.jpg/cover.jpg, most of the time these jpgs are the same, and sometimes they're not, but it'd still be better to just show the first.

Is there support for alternative naming schemes for cover art yet? Only thing keeping me back from the DUI is inability to display my cover art.

I will request this again...

An option to disable image resizing. If my album art viewer is 500x500, and I have an image that is 300x300, leave it at 300x300. When it is resized, it looses quality and looks pretty bad. Sometimes higher resolution album art cannot be found.

how about now?

in many folders I have filename - Thumb.jpg. how I can make it to display automaticaly.. too tyret to remane all time to folder, cover.. etc.
tnx

There is no option 'yet'. The album art support is limited by embedded album art (im mp3, ogg, flac etc...) and limited by ... see page 1



Nice to see the topic is still alive, hopefull something get's implemented. I've seen great solutions to nice solution, all better than we have at the moment. I again vote for foosion solution. post

too bad i have NO IDEA what he is talking about.

if you mean me Bobjua , I was replying to zfed who wants to display his files named 'Thumb.jpg'. Since this thread is concerned about album art, I assume zfed means he wants to display 'Thumb.jpg' as album art.
So my post simple informs, no you can't make 'Thumb.jpg' as album art in foobar at the moment.
To have album art, the art should either be embedded or is one of the recognized filename patterns foosion mention.

Don't think this was mentioned...

Incredibly easy *sorta* workaround for getting album art to show now-playing:
Go to playback menu and set "cursor follows playback".

I like it like this.
