View Full Version : folder.jpg
"- to give a folder a thumbnail, you can now place a folder.jpg in the folder"
i am very excited about this new feature, thank you for implementing this, you rock!
i pulled down and compliled the latest anon cvs this morning after reading this. i tried with both folders on the local xbox drive as well as smb shares containing the file named folder.jpg, but it only showed the default folder/album art. so it doesn't appear to work for me yet, but i presume it may just be that cvs is behind.
again, i am very excited to get this working, thanks
anon cvs often lacks 24-72 hrs behind

i did notice that my bugs.txt was updated to a time stamp of 1/22, and contains the list of additions made for the 21st.
i took a look and it appears that the folder.jpg is indeed used as the folder icon when in icon view in my music. this is very very cool. i did notice that if there is a folder.jpg file that is not same x and y dimensions, it appears to shrink and then disappear on the screen.
i am hoping that this folder.jpg can also be used as the album art for the music overlay. that way it can be seen down in the corner when a track is playing as well as when the visulization is on.

i second this idea, i have folder.jpg images for my whole mp3 collection so that would be very cool.

i third the idea.
all my albums on the pc have the folder art stored as folder.jpg so when i view them as icons i can see the album art in windows explorer, this would be a cool feature for xbmc.
keep up the good work guys i love xbmc it as almost convinced me to buy another xbox.

would the .tbn thumb nail also be supported?
i have a whole bunch of divx dvd-rs that use the tbn scheme.
i.e. movie name.avi and movie name.tbn
yea, it would be great if all the .tbn files worked as well... :d
tbn support is in the "features we wanna implement" pinned at the top of this forum, so it is only a matter of time.
