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 .

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.

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.

Boz I modified the registry key to rename PNG files

Set as a Cover for png.zip

here is the path in case you want to change the name of the file

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pngfile\shell\Set as a Cover\command

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
