Artwork issue

[mightyoakbob]

For many years I have managed to get an icon of a computer folder to display for "folder View". I did this simply by placing a folder.jpg image in the top level of the scan directory (top of my library).

The top level of my scan directory (or folder if you prefer) is full of directories like this...

Audio Books, Christmas, Classical, Home, iTunes (m4a), Jazz, Misc, mp3, Play_Lists, Rock and Pop, Samplers, Stage and Screen, Vinyl
and one image folder/jpg (a picture of a folder).

Suddenly, just before christmas this stopped working. Instead, Minimserver now ignores my folder.jpg and looks inside Audio Books and finds an icon there and uses that instead. Now the Audio Books directory only contains other directories and one image, no audio files at that level. However, that image works fine for an Audio Books icon. This seems to be a new inconsistancy to me.

What has caused this, I don't understand the mechanism for it. I tried an experiment, I created a top level directory name Aaa thinking this would be the top choice and placed a copy of the folder picture in there.
No, MinimServer ignored that and continued to use the Audio Books icon.

As the books directory has no audio files but does have other directories, I placed another directory with the picture inside Aaa.

No, MinimServer ignores that too. Grrrr.

It was fine before.
Can I switch this off?
Is there another solution?
Can I revert to earlier versions and just stay there?

Thanks.

Bob.
