Hello!

I want to write the assigned covers to the files, so I can display them in my car. When I activate this setting, nothing happens to the files as it seems to be only triggered when the cover changes, but the albums already have a cover assigned.

The only way I found to trigger it was when I was searching for covers in the Cover Manager (Fetch Missing Covers), however, then only the covers that the Cover Manager finds are written to the file and not the covers I have manually saved to the album folders.

My question is: Is there a way to trigger this setting, so my own covers (that are saved in the album folders) are written to the files?

With best regards,

Which exact Amarok version is this about?

Whoops, forgot to add that. I am using version 2.9.0 on Arch Linux.

So if the album already has a cover assigned, you can't change it, did I understand this correctly? I think you might have to write covers to file with a mass-tagger like kid3 or similar in this case. I don't think it is actually implemented to write covers from disk to file.

Mind you, a mass-tagger does this much faster than Amarok does, especially if you have a large collection.

Well, I can change the cover, but I probably would have to do it manually for each album. I don't know if this would trigger the embedding.

I am a regular user of kid3, but did not know there is a script that automatically embeds image files into the audio files from the same folder. This is exactly what I wanted. Thank you!
