file>preferences>tools>biography server>artist tab. specify path in the image box and it works automatically??
you can't change the extension because the component saves the file as-is. you'll have to account for this with multiple $if $fileexists statements in your info panel. (or you might look to see if it supports wildcards - i have no idea)
edit: that biography view component is weird. when i play a new artist, it displays the image for the previous one?? if it takes time to download a new one, i'd rather see a blank panel than the wrong image.
Finally i managed to work...see picture1 and picture2
i can refine a bit the configuration to "write" in lowercase the name of the artists. the artists pictures are displayed correctly in the trackinfomod ...but sometimes last.fm and the biography view saves pictures in *.jpg and many sometimes in *.png. And i don't know to tweak my code to show both types of files...
//Artists Pictures
$puts(pos.horizon2,$muldiv(%_height%,4,7))
$puts(pos.shadow2,100)
$puts(pos.artx2,$sub($div(%_width%,2),868))
$puts(pos.arty2,$sub($get(pos.horizon2),167))
$puts(path.noartist,/images/cui/noartist.png)
$puts(path.artistPath,$if($fileexists(Z:\artists pictures\%artist%.jpg),Z:\artists pictures\%artist%.jpg,$get(path.noartist)))
$puts(text.noartist,no picture)
$puts(text.artist,$if($fileexists(Z:\artists pictures\%artist%.jpg),%artist%,$get(text.noartist)))
there sometype of *.bat file to "auto-convert" newly adde files in the folder into *.jpg ??
