Write existing album art to file is in folder
Hi Urs,
I'm looking to write all my art to files. In kid3 I can use open directory to select the top directory, then filter>no art, then right click: expand folders, then select all, to get a list of all files with no embedded art. A good start.
I was going to start going through the files and getting the art from the internet when I realised:
A. I have art for most of the files in the folder (structure: [starting letter]/[artist]/[album]); do you know if it's possible to have kid3-qt write images to the mp3 tags if present, based on a query? Would this be something I have to do in kid3-cli? If Qt can do it, where would I write the query to have it work? I see that there's automatic import... can this be hacked to use local directories and search for album.jpg / cover.jpg / folder.jpg / front.jpg / %{albumname}.jpg, etc? (or failing that, the largest jpg in the folder?)
B. That Banshee stores all its auto-downloaded art in a cache folder. So if A works, and I run it for all my folders, and I still have art-less music where there are no images in the folder, I could run a script to grab the images from banshee's cache...
Thanks in advance for any tips!
