The problems discussed were from 2009. A lot has changed since then, including a massive overhaul of the iTunes plug-in. None of those problems really apply any more. Music Videos are fully supported and all artwork is taken from the OS (specifically, the QuickLook system). In 2006, the OS didn’t know anything about album covers. Now it does, so the plug-in doesn’t need code to figure that out. I’m pretty sure this even applies to artwork that iTunes downloads, but inexplicably doesn’t stick into the ID3 Tags. Not that you’d ever want to store the artwork that way. FYI, I just drag the artwork from http://www.slothradio.com/covers/ to the iTunes window. As you say in your post, doing this correctly embeds the artwork into the file. As for artwork not appearing with the current release of the iTunes plug-in, in almost all cases, if you can see it in Finder and/or with QuickLook, you’ll see it in Quicksilver. If not, there was probably a recent change to those files that hasn’t worked its way though all the various places where icons are cached. I see random places where artwork doesn’t appear that I can’t explain, but in at least once case, running “Clear Custom Icon” (from the File Attribute Actions plug-in) has fixed that. Off topic: You also complain that ratings aren’t embedded in the files’ metadata. Ratings are subjective and have more to do with the listener that the track. This is why iTunes (correctly) stores ratings in your library and not with the track itself. -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quicksilver" group.
