How To Automatically Open The Directory of the Selected Tracks

Hello,

Sorry, I don't know if this question was asked before. I did a search on google and in the forums for a similar question but couldn't find anything related.

When, for example, I want to attach a front cover into some selected tracks by doing Tagging\Attach pictures\Front cover in the context menu, the directory that gets open is always not the directory of the selected tracks (unless that directory was the last directory that was opened by foobar). Is there a way to have foobar open the directory where the selected tracks are? It would be much faster than having to locate the directory each time I do some operation such as attaching a cover.

Just out of curiosity, if I have my covers in each album folder, is there a way to attach them all to all the appropriate tracks at once, instead of having to attach for each album?

Many thanks for your help.

i'm not really sure how you managed to find the "attach pictures" option but miss "batch attach pictures" directly below it?

got it, thanks

Btw, there's only single pattern? We can't have multiple patterns when doing batch attach pictures?

ah yes, there seems to be a bug where pressing enter will not allow you to use a new line for more patterns.

edit: copy/pasting multiple lines from a text editor seems to work fine.

Code: [Select]
folder.jpg
cover.jpg


edit2: i suppose if you're confident there is only 1 image in each folder, you could use wildcards....

Code: [Select]
*.jpg

Another thing that might help is pressing ctrl+enter to add new lines for determining multiple paterns.
