indexArtwork : feature request

[eseb63]

Hello,

Here are some needs when using indexArtwork :

1. We can choose custom images for the index entries with indexArtwork=folder setting; we need then to create images for indexTag values : it's quite easy for some indexes (Artist, composer, ...) but for others not (Genre, Period, Item, Work...).
   PS : I prefer not to use indexArtwork=all and keep control of what is displayed
   
   Would it be possible, if a picture is not found for an index value, to get the index entry one ? the index entry picture would be the default picture for its values, overrided by the tag value picture if any.
   .
2. I use artist tag as LastName, FirstName [instrument]
   
   I use also an instrument index tag, but since it is not possible to get the list of artists playing a given instrument, you suggested that I create index tags pianist, violinist etc... which I did on the form lastName, firstName (see https://forum.minimserver.com/showthread.php?tid=7475)
   
   So i would need that picture searching ignore the suffix if any, to avoid having to duplicate artist images (one with suffix, one without).
   
   This ties in with the request you accepted in this thread to ignore the suffix for reverseName (https://forum.minimserver.com/showthread.php?tid=7466)
   .
3. Endly, it would be handy that a picture would be shown, regardless the name form. lastName, firstName vs firstName lastName : it would avoid having to rename all pictures if changing reverseName option.
   

With 2 and 3, a picture <lastname, firstname.png> would be shown for these index values :

• lastname, firstname
• firstname lastname
• firstname lastname (suffix)
• firstname lastname [suffix]
• lastname, firstname (suffix)
• lastname, firstname [suffix]
  

What do you think about these suggestions ?
