Cover.jpeg isn’t detected in “other” folders

[David]

If ‘Enable Cover Thumbnailer for other folders’ is checked, thumbnails are not always generated for folders not inside Music or Pictures. Specifically, although you get a thumbnail for a folder with ‘Cover.jpg’, it won’t work if the filename is ‘Cover.jpeg’.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Create a folder on your desktop (or anywhere other than Music or Pictures).
  2. Add an image named ‘Cover.jpeg’ in that folder.
  3. Refresh.
Expected result: The new folder uses Cover.jpeg for its thumbnail.
Actual result: The new folder has a standard folder icon.

Wokaround: Rename ‘Cover.jpeg’ to ‘Cover.jpg’.

You are right, Cover.jpeg is not in the list of covers files ( http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~flozz/cover-thumbnailer/v0.9/view/head:/cover-thumbnailer/cover-thumbnailer.py#L69 ).

Quick fix:
   Edit as root the file /usr/bin/cover-thumbnailer and add this filename to the list (line 70).

This bug will be fixed in the next release (v0.9)

Thanks for your report :)

Thanks! Don’t forget to make sure that that entire list there has ‘.jpeg’ versions of each filename.
