ben3759 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Was wondering if a way to disable the automatic cover art scanning in a folder could be added. I keep a lot of my music in my downloads folder and a lot of them don't have cover art so they end up just being a random image from my downloads folder.

andrewilley Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 In PA Settings > Album Art, you can disable online searching for cover art, or disable cover art completely (library-wide), but you can't disable it for one folder only. Folders don't have an overall 'in app' Image selection feature like Albums or Artists do. Adding a folder.jpg file to the folder would help if you can control the contents of the folder (may then need to do a Full Rescan in PA Settings > Library) but if you have a folder which contains transient contents then the results could be unpredictable as file contents change - e.g. other .jpg files, or contained songs with their own embedded artwork. It think the existence of a specific folder.jpg file is meant to take priority over other found images though. The rules for how artwork is chosen are given in Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
