ahd55 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) If you have a large media library this tweak will be very useful. I have a large media library and I like to organize it for faster browsing with a covers, ablum art, poster ...etc I tend to rename pictures (only jpg files) to folder.jpg a lot this tweak will add an option to rename it to folder.jpg to save some time . More info: http://code.google.com/p/set-as-a-cover/ Download Set as a Cover.zip I tried it in windows 7 it might work in Vista.

Boz Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Let me know how this works more.. and what capabilities are of Windows 7 as far as PNG? Can you set covers as PNG transparent? You can take a look at my app for generating thumbnails for PS3 Media Server in PNG. https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=822198 I mean I can generate JPGs as well but the problem is that it would be cooler to do PNG with transparency if possible. I'd like to add support for this SET AS COVER thing in my app so it generates compatible thumbs as well.
