Cover manager not finding folder.jpg

Within the last week I have switched to Linux (Ubuntu 8.10) and Amarok 2.0 (build 1.4.10). Lucky time to get in I think.

I am using the genre/artist/album/track structure and each folder has a folder.jpg file. Many of the folders also have other images as well. Cover Manager (and the Amarok content view) uses folder.jpg in the great majority of cases, but in some cases uses a different jpg within the folder. I am able to choose the folder.jpg file as correct cover, so I know the files are usable, but am wondering if there is something to be set so that Amarok finds the folder.jpg files every time?

I've looked for a pattern to see how the image is being chosen, but haven't been able to figure anything out. It's definitely not just choosing the first file alphabetically.

Thanks for your help and a great product.

I've got the same problem.

In my collection, all the albums have their covers and there are always called "Folder.jpg" (the front cover) because this scheme works for Amarok 1.4.x, Winamp, Windows Media Player, Foobar,... (not with iTunes, but who cares  ;) )
But I may also have other covers (back, inside, lyrics, CD,...) and I called these other covers "Pochette-X.jpg" (I'm french) so, alphabetically, they are AFTER the front one.

But when Amarok 2.0.1 scans my collection, it picks randomly the cover... That is very annoying because Amarok 1.4.x didn't have this problem.

It should be better to choose the first cover alphabetically when there are many...

And by the way, Amarok rocks !! Thank you guy for this great app !!! :D
