Ive reverted back to v2.1b because there would be a long drawn out freeze in foobar when i loaded a new song. This could be due to the wildcards all being processed but as there is only one imagefile per directory I'm not sure. Does the new version process ALL files in that directory or just the ones that are recognised image files?

Or maybe its due to the new way of producing the image. Meh its a shame becuase i got all excited over the ability to export and import source lists (makes a note to get a life at some point in the future)

As promised, I've (re)implemented cycling through all wildcard matches.

Though it would be nice if the component would auto-refresh on resize. Several other components appear to suffer from this problem.. does the SDK provide a notification of events such as resize?

I'd really like an option to switch this off, as it burns performance when not needed.

Not working string:  -$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)..\*.jpg
What about this?
(new version 0.24)

Did you try to remove the "..\"?  I think that will correct it.

When resizing, the album art disappears and turns to all white; after a track change or when highlighting a different track, the panel works normal again

edit: I use the new version 0.24

Don't mean to hog anybodies thread....sorry if I am.

I have a simply question:
how can I get this plugin to display whatever image I have in the folder where the playing file is located, regardless of file name?
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=354050"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Code: [Select]

match:$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)*

That should do the trick.

Is that 'r' a typo?  I just tested the exact string you posted and it seemed to work for me.  If you still have problems, please enable the option "output preformatted sources to console" in Album Art Panel Preferences, then open foobar2000's console by selecting "Console" from the "View" menu and look for any messages that start with "searching album art, preprocessed pattern:" (they should be the last messages).  Reply here with what those messages say (cut and paste from the console) and I'll have a look.

Since I specified %artist% I guess plug-in looks for exact match. So I renamed file and
---voila----two skinny dudes show up in album pannel.

How to best format string to pick up any graphics file?

I also never been able to click through and get anything but the first match in some of my other foobar configs of the past. So if folder includes a file named back.jpg , that's where it would match. Not being the brightest light on the tree I'd just go into the folder and rename front.jpg to afront  ......

musosticky's post just above yours shows an excellent example.
