I think the most straightforward way would be to specify a directory to hold the pictures and a format for naming them, e.g., bob dylan.jpg or bob_dylan.jpg, or whatever. I suspect those of us who would want to use this option will build their picture folder from a number of sources and probably do some editing of the pictures (cropping and/or re-sizing mostly) specifically for use with SlimServer. So I don't think you need to build in the flexibility to have to search multiple places for the pictures. One additional question on Custom Scan. Is there a limit on the number of tags you can scan beyond which performance will begin to suffer? I ask because when I first began using it, I loaded in quite a few different items and used the Custom Browse wizard to create a bunch of different menu formats to experiment with. In the end, I find I really only need to scan for a couple items to create the menus that I actually use on a regular basis, but I have some ideas for using a few more in modified artist and album headers. But before I scan for too many items, I thought I'd ask whether there will be a performance impact. -- aeo12 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aeo12's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29156 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
