Hi Guys,
This is my first post so I hope I'm not threading deeply into waters already covered (I did a search and I couldn't find any results, surprisingly to be honest). Essentially my problem relates to cover art. Most of my collection does not have cover art embedded in the music files, instead there is a file called Cover.jpg in the folder with the music. For Amarok 1.4 this was never a problem, it always displayed that file as the cover art. However Amarok 2 doesn't appear to behave the same way. Instead it either picks a random image file from the folder (ie. Back.jpeg, Cd.jpg, etc.) and makes that the cover art or it picks none at all and simply leaves the space blank. I'd love to resolve this if possible. I love Amarok 2, I think it's a great player that has yet to be fully appreciated by more people.
Thanks in advance,
Donal.

Amarok picks a random image, if there are multiple images in the directory. Name doesn't matter.
With more than one image you must set it manually. There are topics regarding this problem. An order in which Amarok recognizes cover art would really be nice.

It would indeed be nice. Previous versions of Amarok (ie. 1.4.x) had no problem recognizing Cover.jpg was the cover art image, regardless of how many files were present. Is there a script or any other way of getting around the issue? I'm sorry but I couldn't find any of the other topics covering this.

Unfortunately there are no other solutions, but manually selecting or only one image per folder. I don't know any script to solve this.
We had a larger discussion about this topic, but in the german forum.
