Bug Description
I use Rockbox on my ipod and there is a patch to display album art if there is a file called folder.jpg in the same folder as the currently playing music file.
Exaile! downloads the album art automatically from Amazon, but saves it to ~/.exaile/
I think there should be an option in the preferences to determine where the album art should be saved. It should have shortcuts for the artist, album and folder of the currently playing music file as well.
So you could then edit the save location for the album art to be any of the following:
~/Music/
/path/to/
/path/to/
/path/to/
etc....
This ticket was migrated from the old trac: re #122

Hi there
I just wrote a quick n' dirty solution to "enable" this feature. It isn't even integrated in Exaile. cover-mover. py. It worked for me under Ubuntu Linux 6.10 with Python 2.4.4c1, Exaile is an SVN version from ~August 07. It probably works for 0.2.10, too.
Download it to a folder of your choice and start it from console using python exaile-
It moves fetched covers from ~/.exaile/covers directly to your album folder and names it cover.jpg. So please be sure, every album is in a separate directory.
Check it out!
Known issues:
- Doesn't work for directories with non-Unicode characters
If there's still enough interesting in this script, I'll continue...
