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?

If this idea is going to be implemented,would the user have a choice by settings?
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.
