Ошибки и замечания / Bugs / [?] [1471] Folder/Cover Image in File Folder Not Always Selected for Display
« on: September 28, 2024, 01:46:13 »
Update 28 September:
It appears that v4.11.1471 27.09.2024 (running on a different device and updated today) finds and displays a cover image named Folder.jpg in the file folder. So perhaps that problem (#1 below) is not a problem after all.
Earlier versions of Windows automatically created a hidden system file named "folder.jpg" in the directory of a music album, as a very low-resolution thumbnail of the album cover. Perhaps Android music players intentionally avoid this. I recall that Neutron did not select a cover image named folder.jpg or Folder.jpg, which is why I always try to remember to use Folder1.jpg (but sometimes forget).
------------------
Original message:
My music albums typically have a "Folder1.jpg" image in the folder. In my settings for "Album Arts" I have "Find in the folder" checked and "Find in tags" unchecked. (I am using v4.11.1467 08.09.2024.)
However, in a few albums I have forgotten to rename Folder.jpg to Folder1.jpg. In those cases, AIMP for Android does not seem to find Folder.jpg and instead displays a default blank image.
This happens both in the "Albums" section of "My Music" and also in the playlist that I create. If I rename the image from Folder.jpg to Folder1.jpg and then clear cache and restart AIMP and update content, the image is still not found.
Problem #1: Why is Folder.jpg not selected as the album cover? Apparently any other name for the image will work, since I sometimes have also Folder2.jpg as the back cover, and AIMP seems to select that for the front cover (apparently sorting by name and taking the last one).
Problem #2: When I rename Folder.jpg to Folder1.jpg, AIMP does not automatically find it, even after clearing cache, restarting and refreshing. If I delete the album and download again from cloud storage, then AIMP will usually find it after clearing cache and restarting, but not always (as if it still "remembers" some previous state for that album).
Problem #3: I cannot find a way to manually select Folder1.jpg from the album folder once I have renamed the file. In the "Albums" section I see "Set custom thumbnail", but it does not show Folder1.jpg from the folder. Instead, I have to scroll through many hundreds or even thousands of images from my device, sorted by date. Within a playlist, there appears to be no way at all to manually change the blank image.
