Bugzilla – Bug 577
artwork file search should be case insensitive
Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:54:21 UTC
We currently look for artwork files named folder.[jpg|gif], cover.[jpg|gif], etc. We miss files like Folder.jpg on platforms that have case-sensitive filenames. I'm not sure which ripping/tagging programs create the upper-cased version, but there have been reports of them. The search should be case insensitive.
A workaround for now is that users who DO use apps that create Folder.JPG for example, they can set the Artwork and Artwork Thumbnail settings to Folder.JPG. the current method for file matching creates a list of files, then does -d test. This list will get huge if we try all combinations of case. We might have to change to scanning the dir and doing a case insensitive match with the current list.
This is pretty clearly spelled out in the Settings for additional artwork files to look for..
Routine bug db maintenance; removing old versions which cause confusion. I apologize for the inconvenience.
