Booklets

I applied it to a few test cases, and everything works now as you said. I will update the names of all my pdf files accordingly.

I will update the User guide section with this information. The same naming convention is used for finding album-specific artwork files.

Searching for files with "booklet" anywhere in the name wouldn't work because there could be multiple files like this in the folder and there wouldn't be any reasonable way for MinimServer to choose which file to use.

Quote:May I ask another question? I used to keep my booklet files in a separate tree structure, constructed along the same branching structure as the one used for the audio tracks. This made their management easier (at least for me). If I were on Linux, I could use symlinks from the ContentDir to this parallel directory in order to avoid duplicating the pdf files. Windows does not offer the equivalent of linux symlinks. I tried creating Windows shortcuts in the ContentDir, but MinimServer does not seem to follow them. Would you know of any clean way to reproduce the effect on linux symlinks under Windows.

Thanks again!

I tried creating symbolic links in my Windows library using the mklink command (you need to run this from an Administrator command prompt) and MinimServer is finding these files successfully.
