Sorry, but I couldnt find an answer and am trying around myself for weeks now.
How can I success to have the downloaded artist art named by artists name and not by this discogs ID?
I have the artist pics in this folder:
C:\Users\n01r\Music\Artists
I'd prefer to have it in C:\Users\n01r\Music\Library\%artist% , but probably this is not a good idea because of certain foobar dll's, right?
The discogs plugin names the artists Art by %discog_artist_ID% Tag. I also tried to use that directly, but I must say, I am a subzero in programing...
I tried this in the globals of dark1.7 foobar skin; I just try around, but no idea, as you probably see...
CODE
$if($fileexists(C:\Users\n01r\Music\Artists\%filename_ext%,%DISCOGS_ARTIST_ID%*.*),
$puts(ArtistImage1,$replace(C:\Users\n01r\Music\Artists\%filename_ext%,%DISCOGS_ARTIST_ID%*.*)),
$if($fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)%artist%.*),
$puts(ArtistImage1,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)%artist%.*),
$if($fileexists($replace(%path%,%directory%\%filename_ext%,folder*.*)),
$puts(ArtistImage1,$replace(%path%,%directory%\%filename_ext%,folder*.*)),
$if($fileexists($replace(%path%,%directory%\%filename_ext%,*.*g)),
$puts(ArtistImage1,$replace(%path%,%directory%\%filename_ext%,*.*g)),
$if($fileexists($get(artistPath)),
$puts(ArtistImage1,$get(artistPath)),
)))))
This seems to be absolutely nonsense.
With album art I had a little bit more success:
CODE
$replace(C:\Users\n01r\Music\Artists\,%filename_ext%,)%DISCOGS_ARTIST_ID%*
This gives a useable output, but the * seems to become the sign * and not the _1 _2 and so on.
How do you solved it in your configs? I think there are dll's which could name the pics after the discogs plugin downloaded the artists art. But in 1.13 I think it should be also possible to name it directly.
I really want to learn these things, but it is hard, so it would be nice if someone could look at these things here, perhaps also basic explainings would be great... I dont want to steal your time.
Thanks
