Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] How Can I Display Album Art

[Hideyuki Fukui <nqe37003 nifty com>]

Thanks Peter.

Can I change the plugin to read album names only in a simple way? I'm a newbie
 thus not sure how to tweak the plugin.

If it is a complicated tweak, just mention so. In it is the case, I know I wou
ld have to learn Python programming and Rhythmbox APIs....

I was wrong. I think I know why it isn't working after re-reading of the Pytho
n
code for the local cover art more carefully.

It is looking for an image file where the filename contains BOTH the
artist AND the album name. I think it would be enough to check for just
the album name - but I keep all my albums in separate folders.
