Context Menu Item - Add Cover Art from Folder.jpg

Help & Support
1

I've searched here and tried several different commands but I can't get anything to work.

I want to select one or more MP3 files and use a Context Menu item to add the Folder.jpg file from the same folder as the cover art for the selected file(s).

I've tried variatons of this:

SetAttr META coverart:front:Folder.jpg

This will remove the cover art from a file if it had any. But that's all it will do.

I've tried a bunch of different variations on this but no luck.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Try this:

SetAttr META "coverart:front:{sourcepath}Folder.jpg"

SetAttr has a FILE argument that lets you tell it which file or a wildcard if you don't want it to work on the selected files. Use that instead of changing the selection.

https://www.gpsoft.com.au/help/opus12/index.html#!Documents/SetAttr.htm

In general, changing the selection via commands is for changing what is selected in the lister, not for changing which files subsequent commands will work on.

SetAttr FILE *.mp3 META "coverart:+front:{sourcepath}1973 - Front.jpg"

FILE is the default argument so you can also write:

SetAttr *.mp3 META "coverart:+front:{sourcepath}1973 - Front.jpg"

i tried setting

SetAttr META "coverart:+front:{sourcepath}*Front.jpg" as i thought it would work with any *Front.jpg it found in the folder ?

1973 - Front.jpg" becomes Front.jpg
next folder 1974 - Front.jpg" and so on

so i cant set a wildcard ? *Front.jpg for cover ?

No, you need to know the actual filename.

Oops. I deleted the post asking the question because I found the answer. Should have seen your reply first.

Thanks!

It's also possible to set this command up as an entry in your right click menu only for music files. You can edit context menus in the file types dialog.
