The answer to your question is that cover.jpg and cover.png are used for folder artwork in folder view. Also, if there is no folder art file (with any of the permitted names) for a folder, artwork from an audio file in the folder is used as artwork for the folder. This audio file is the first file with artwork that MinimServer finds when scanning the folder.

I will add this information to the User guide.

Thanks, to clarify you mean that cover.jpg can be used in addition to folder.jpg, since folder.jpg does work.

As a temporary artist artwork (i.e photo of artist) measure I note that adding folder.jpg to the albumartist folder will cause the folder to be updated with that image. but if none is added nothing is picked up from the any album folder underneath the artist folder, even though all albums have album artwork.

Would it be a nice default for MinimServer to apply some logic to apply the first artwork from subfolder to the folder above, so in attached screenshot control point at least shows an artists album at artist folder level when there is no folder.jpg directly in the album artist folder rather than just the default icon.
