I suppose the best solution would be to get the menu pro-populated, with the option of replacing it with an image of choice, which may or may not be an album cover.

I can make a small change that should help with this. At present, the folder art image is taken from files in the folder (not in subfolders). If there are no files in the folder, there is no folder art image. I can change this so that the folder art image is selected as follows:

1) Search the files in the folder looking for an art image (same as currently)

2) If no files with art images are found, look for the first direct subfolder that has an art image (based on its files and direct subfolders) and use that image

Would this be useful?

Although I do not use folder view that often, I have put all albums in a sub-folder just to avoid that I see any pictures in folder-view at all.
If I understand correctly, the result will be, that if a user has chosen to divide his collection in say for instance:folder "classic">sub-folder "orchestra" etc. and "other music">sub-folder "artist">sub-folder "album",pictures(album art) shown in folder view will be the first orchestra found in "classic" and the first "artist" in "other music"?
Or do misinterpreter this idea?

Best Regards,

Peter.

My library relies both on tags and folder structure. It means I have a high level set of folders (namely Renaissance, Classique, Jazz, opéras, 20th Century, Pop Folk Rock, World Music) each off them containing sub folders, each of them, in turn, containing folders with either music or subfolders. It means I have no music, and therefore no cover image at all until 3 levels below the root directory, i.e. 2 levels below the first level folders.

Interestingly, using Kinsky, an image is diplayed on each folder only when there is a cover image inside the folder, and so no image for 1st level and 2nd level folders, which is the expected behavior.

But using the Lumin app, 4 of my seven first level folder have an image displayed, and 3 don't have. All this using only folder view, the only one really useful to me so far. So, Lumin behaves properly when there is an image file inside the folder, but behaves randomly when there is none ???

I am busy populating my album images, having cleared out the caches, so all seems to be well, thanks very much.

Regarding your idea of having the two options sounds a good one, as the user could still chose their own art by putting a jpeg in the folder if they did not like to one that would be found with the deeper search.

Being able to choose the artwork is a great feature as it means some classic covers can be used, rather than 'Best of..."
