Artwork view

I'm looking for a Columns UI artwork viewer panel which will work similar to the biography view, but will browse through the pictures in specific folder, not download them  (eg. C:\folder\%artist%*.jpg)

And it should cycle through images on mouse scroll like:

%artist%_1.jpg
%artist%_2.jpg
%artist%_3.jpg
...
%artist%_n.jpg

a simple wsh panel can do the job if no specific component offer this feature

foo_uie_albumart does exactly that, but I'm afraid it's considered crashware (I use it on a daily basis and haven't seen a crash for a long time though).

HTH.

PS: cycling is automatic, not sure about mouse scroll.

how can this be done with biography view? I want it not to connect to the internet while browsing the cache, and AFAIK it can't be done...
will try the foo_uie_albumart...

foo_uie_albumart seems to be what I'm looking for... I only had to manually add the sources to the list (eg. %artist%.* ; %artist%_01.* ; %artist%_02.* and so on)

Any way to do this exact same thing in default, without using dockable panels?

I think %artist%*.* should be enough.

A word of caution: make sure you tweak its settings appropriately, otherwise foo_uie_albumart can quickly turn into a resource hog.

Cheers.

I thought so too, but it doesn't work for me...
Plus foo_albumart seems to randomly crash foobar when I want to manually save the settings with a toolbar button (file > save configuration). it didn't happen before I installed the plugin... guess that's why it's tagged as CRASHWARE...
