v1.1.1 - 2010-05-28
+ Added coloured icons to the listview that correspond to the image's resolution.
(Thanks, worstje)
Green - 500x500 or greater and square
Green/Blue - 500x500 or greater and NOT square
Yellow - 400x400 or greater, but less than 500x500, and square
Yellow/Blue - 400x400 or greater, but less than 500x500, and NOT square
Orange - 300x300 or greater, but less than 400x400, and square
Orange/Blue - 300x300 or greater, but less than 400x400, and NOT square
Red - 299x299 or less and square
Red/Blue - 299x299 or less and NOT square
+ Added a "fudge factor" setting that allows for non-perfectly square images to be
considered square e.g. 500x496.

Hi skwire,
As I said before I couldn't wait to let CovArt Ops process my music collection.
Well, it took CoverArt Ops 15 minutes to process 6500+ music directories.
That's a nice result.
Can I make some suggestions for improving it?
[1]
When clicking on the Resolution column, the entries are sorted based on the string representation of the resolution.
Ie. 1000x1000, 100x100, 1428x1428, 200x200, 400x400, 500x500, 800x800, ...
I think this is pretty useless.
I would like this sorting to be according to the real (sorting by numbers) resolution:
100x100, 200x200, 400x400, 500x500, 800x800, 1000x1000, 1428x1428, ...
[2]
When clicking on the Type column, the entries are sorted based on name of the cover art file.
I would (have expected and) like that the sorting is done based on the cover art "quality".
Ie. according to the icon order as shown in the Icon legend (Options > Configure)
(and for entries with the same icon: then sort on the real (!) resolution)
Having that sorting right I could "upgrade" the cover art of my music collection starting with the "worst" cases that need it most.
[3]
For albums containing more than one CD I have these directories:
Artist Name - Year - Album Name [3CD]\Disc 1
Artist Name - Year - Album Name [3CD]\Disc 2
Artist Name - Year - Album Name [3CD]\Disc 3
In this case I have the "folder.jpg" file in the directory "Artist Name - Year - Album Name [3CD]" but not in the subdirectories "Disc 1", "Disc 2", "Disc 3".
Now "CovArt Ops" find those subdirectories as having no cover art.
It would be nice if I could specify what foldernames to skip using wild cards.
E.g. Skip: "Disc*, CD*"
[4]
When I select an entry in the list, on the left the cover is displayed.
When I select on of the other picture files listed under that cover, on my machine running Windows Vista I visually loose my selection in the main list.
I don't know if that is something you can solve. Since on my XP machine I see that the selection is still there.
Apparently on my Vista machine, the background color of a selected item if in a table/list not having the focus is white.
Thanks

I'll add this to the ToDo and try to get to it in a later build.

Since it works fine on your XP box, I'm going to assume this may have something to do with the theme you're running since I already have the LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS property set for that listview. That property states that the listview selection, if any, is always shown, even if the control does not have keyboard focus. I tested it in a Windows 7 VM as well and it worked fine.

v1.1.2 - 2011-03-23
+ Unicode path capable. Use included ANSI build on operating systems below
Windows XP.
* Made the Options dialog non-modal so you can keep it open to view the icon
legend and still work the main interface.
* Type column now sorts based on perceived image "quality." (Thanks, zzynx)
! Resolution column now does an integer-based sort. (Thanks, zzynx)

Hi Jody,
That was an amazing fast reaction. :up: [ I'll easily get used to it. ;) ]
Thanks!
My music collection is begging for another CovArt Ops processing...

This is still one of my favorite Coding Snacks. Haven't used it in a while, but this update reminds me that I am actually aching to take care of my 'unsorted music' folder. Thanks for the new features! :Thmbsup:
