Folder.jpg not being used consistently

If you could provide a definitive list, perhaps a list of regular expressions, that would help me write a bullet-proof script to rename everything necessary to cause roon to use folder.jpg for every album’s artwork even if it isn’t the largest image.

We look for image files whose name contains front or cover or folder when determining which images we consider to be the front cover.

@ezman

Also, will roon automatically choose folder.jpg once I rename other files that it had already chosen? File dates probably won’t change, nor will file content, so I’m unsure if your file change detection code will notice that the files that were previously chosen have been renamed, triggering it to reselect the album art.

It will update as soon as we notice the new image files. Some storage configurations may result in this being picked up more quickly than others, but you should always be able to re-scan and have the new art picked up immediately.
