Re: [Banshee-List] Feature hacking

Banshee can automatically manage your folders, if you want.

The way this works, is it writes the artwork to the folder were the lowest track number is. if you have tracks 3 5 7 in folder_a and tracks 8 9 10 in folder_b the artwork will only be written to folder_a

if there is another album in the same folder, it only write the first cover, and then skip the rest.

Also this as no effect on the way banshee uses the album cache.  i wrote it for cross-player support, as well as sync support to my phone.

A question for the patch writer.

I still have some folders of music not formated by album. (ie.. multiple
songs from different albums in the same folder) Will this patch handle this
scenario by asking for a unique name for each track, or some other automated
way? I have over 7k tracks and most are formatted properly, but even doing
500 one by one would be a chore. I was also wondering if this will effect
Banshees ability to find the artwork properly for display.

My laptop is older and space is limited which is why I'd like to keep all of
the cover art together with my music on an external USB drive and get rid of
the large album art cache in my /home directory. Every single track has
embedded artwork already, but Banshee doesn't want to use it unless it saved
to the tracks "album" folder.
