Hi,

I am running into a little problem with parsing the artwork file in the
latest builds of Slimserver 7 for OS X.  

I have a directory on the music drive named “artwork” and all of the
covers are named in the format “Album – Artist.jpg”.  For example
Belief by Netzer Ebb is named “Belief – Netzer Ebb.jpg”

In the settings for the server I placed artwork folder to
"/Volumes/Music/Artwork" and for additional filename I placed the name
%ALBUM – ARTIST.jpg (also tried lower case) the results are negative
for finding the album art.  This was based on the help file as shown
here:

SqueezeCenter looks in the same path as the song, thus you would be
looking for the same artfile in this case. However there is an option
in Server Settings, Additional, Interface for setting filenames for
Artwork, Artwork Thumbnail, and for setting a central location for
artwork files. You can enter a specific filename if you use something
not found in the list (eg, artwork.jpg). You may also create filenames
based on song variables. If your first character is %, the server then
parses the rest of the string as an InfoFormat, the same as title
format is created.
As an example, you could create a single directory of songs and name
all your artwork as artist-album.jpg. For this, enter a setting of
%ARTIST-ALBUM.jpg


The log file I believe indicates the server is trying to look in the
folder artwork correctly but then looks for the file name “album –
artist.jpg” instead of substituting the correct value.

Enclosed is the log output.  Any help would be appreciated.
