foo_uie_albumart not showing default images

Hi,

I'm using foo_uie_albumart 2.7.1, and I can't get it to display default images (when no album art is found)

I'm using the following configs, taken right out of searching this website:

-$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*.jpg
-$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)folder.*
-$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)cover.*
-$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)front.*
-components\default.png

and it doesn't show any images. The logging to the console shows that the images can't be found, but if i did the full path like so:

-c:\programs\fb2k\components\default.png

that works.

Any idea why the relative linking doesnt work?

right click on albumart windows and select open directory
then check if there is any image file so you'll know it's something wrong with the script or with your files

-components\default.png

and it doesn't show any images.
And it wouldn't because sources marked with "-" are used if there is no images found in default folder. So you have no default source. "--" is used when you want no-cover picture to be displayed. I use the following config strings:
$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*
-d:\docs\covers\%artist%\%date% - %album%\*
-d:\docs\pics\%artist%\*
d:\docs\pics\%artist%\*
--covers\empty.png

It works this way:
1) shows any picture in directoty with music files
1a) if there are no pictures shows pictures from d:\docs\covers\%artist%\%date% - %album%\*
1b) if there are no pictures too show  pictures from d:\docs\pics\%artist%\*
2) it also shows pictures from d:\docs\pics\%artist%\* ("cycle sources through playback", "skip no cover..." and "cycle all wildcard... randomly" options must be enabled)
3) finally if there are no associated pictures anywhere it shows no-cover picture from --covers\empty.png (i.e. d:\Progs\foobar2000\components\covers\nocover.png)

If you want first pattern to work you must create one more "components" folder in "components" folder and put default.png there. 
%foobar_path%\components\components\default.png because the path should be relative to foo_uie_albumart.dll, not to foobar.exe

Awesome man that fixed the problem. I wonder how come all the documentation still gives the default as --components\default.png. Either quite confusing or outdated?
