Would it be possible to make XBMC *always* load any jpg it finds in the music Album folder? Currently album art is only shown from the Album folder, if it is explicitly named "folder.jpg". When having large (already) sorted MP3 collections which already contain album art (but with another name than folder.jpg), one has to rename all the album to make XBMC show it. I'd suggest when multiple jpg's exist in the folder, XBMC simply loads the first one it finds...

Just thought that it may be implemented with wildcards via AdvancedSettings.xml ? Something like:

<musicthumbs>
<add>*.jpg</add>
</musicthumbs>

I assume this currently doesn't work, right?

Nope, but specifying the name exactly will work.

If anyone wants to implement a patch for this I suggest that the check is ONLY performed on a scan into the library - we don't want files view slowed down by unnecessary directory searches for arbitrarily named jpeg's.

Cheers,

actually there's a patch for this sitting at sf (atleast the wildcard part).

i've ignored it as i think this is a totally unnecessary complication which will lead to errors.
