1) Copying the name does not work.
2) Opening the directory doesn't work either and gives an error. I think you are reading the wrong column for the data (Resolution rather than the Path column) seeing how it complained about not finding 500x500.
3) It is listing some directories I'd rather not have it list. Some subdirectories have images only in them, or other extra information not part of the songs. For example, a fair part of my collection has Artist\Album directory structure, and the Artist has some extra stuff like playlists (m3u) or other stuff like it, causing it to be included in the listing while I'd consider it empty for the purpose of this little tool.-worstje (May 12, 2009, 12:50 PM)
The Guid differs for each image, it serves as some kind of identification code for the album in some database I think. And about 1/3rd to 1/2 of my collection has tags in the files I reckon - and I am not sure how much of that also has the files. But just listing the first thing encountered is allright by me =)-worstje (May 12, 2009, 11:02 AM)
1. It looks awesome. I personally had small cover thumbnails in mind originally, but given the purpose of the tool it doesn't seem all that necessary.
2. Oh right, other image formats is a must. I've got a few PNGs and GIFs scattered throughout my collection as well. The order in which I mentioned them is totally fine.
3. Does it scan the tags of files for cover art yet? I only see folder.jpg entries in your list, hence my question.
4. Seeing your screenshots I figure it might be useful to be able to sort the list on different criteria too, such as the Cover type column. Does the stand headerclick functionality work?
Edit: Oh, I just remembered... one program I have used for a while, I think it was WMP? supplied plenty of album art but in a different file format. {GUID}.jpg things I think they were.... ah no, AlbumArt_{5AC5A5E9-9CBD-4D75-B52B-F47B7E452D0A}_Small.jpg and _Large versions respectively. Can you check for those too?-worstje (May 12, 2009, 09:31 AM)
Ideally, I'd want a big list, sorted by album title. An album could be determined by the directory, as I use one directory per
album.-worstje (May 11, 2009, 05:21 PM)
Please please PLEASE do not make different artists turn it into different albums, since that's what's making most programs I found throw up with 15 similar covers for different artists - directory criterium alone is all I need.-worstje (May 11, 2009, 05:21 PM)
It should look for the cover in a cover.jpg, folder.jpg, front.jpg as well as tags in the files if files doesn't work. Albums that end up without any cover art should light up red in the list.-worstje (May 11, 2009, 05:21 PM)
It would also be nice if it was possible to see how the program found the cover (from a file (filename), from tags, etc) and whether it is consistent.-worstje (May 11, 2009, 05:21 PM)
A way to get the directory the album is in (Copy to clipboard) would also be awesome.-worstje (May 11, 2009, 05:21 PM)
"a mess*" = Inside the 10cc album The Very Best, are some tracks from Godley&Creme (former 10cc members), but because albumprinter (merely) is reading the tags it says I have an artist's folder named Godley&Creme. I don't, it is a 10cc album = a mess.At the risk of sounding defensive, I'd already mentioned in a previous post that VA (various artist) albums weren't handled (though they could be). Also, I didn't want to depend on the directory structure since everybody is different when it comes to that. For instance, I have a couple of root folders e.g.:
Come to think about it, you know there could many other examples like this.-Curt (May 11, 2009, 06:23 PM)
skwire please slow down or your boss will call us and inform us he is doing an intervention and blocking your access to donationcoder.-mouser (May 11, 2009, 05:43 PM)
GUI-based apps like these are my favourites to create so these requests are pretty hard to resist.Such a quick reply. Awesome, I can't wait.
Thanks for putting your job on the line for me, skwire!-worstje (May 11, 2009, 06:07 PM)
Well, with the high prices I'm paying I'm shocked that you would take a few minutes off for dinner or something.
This is fantastic. I'm so grateful for your skill and generosity.-longrun (May 11, 2009, 10:00 AM)
If I select certain lines and export to .csv the entire list seems to be exported. Would it be possible to export selected items only?-longrun (May 10, 2009, 07:47 PM)
Also, this hadn't occurred to me earlier but it would be useful to me (if no one else) to have a column indicating file format (Ogg, mp3). I don't know how hard this would be-longrun (May 10, 2009, 07:47 PM)
Would you like anything else added?
Since some of my artist names already have commas this wouldn't work properly for me-longrun (May 10, 2009, 04:29 PM)
Lyrics window coordinates not being saved on close.I thought I had this fixed (during my own testing). Try resizing the box and see if that saves it.-SoggyDog (May 10, 2009, 02:17 PM)
I wondered what you've been up to.-SoggyDog (May 10, 2009, 11:24 AM)
