Use Parent folder's Album Arts If Missing in Music Directory

[hyxi]

Currently, PA loads external album art if an image file (e.g., cover.jpg) is located in the music directory, which is helpful when the art is not embedded in the music file.

However, for a hierarchical file structure of an album, as shown below, all music files in this album lack album art.

 

Album/
├── Disc 1/
│   ├── music 1
│   ├── music 2
│   └── ... # w/o cover.jpg
├── Disc 2/
│   └── ...
├── Disc 3/
│   └── ...
└── cover.jpg

 

As a workaround, it is possible to manually copy the art file into each subfolder. However, for those who have numerous similar albums or nested file structures, it would be beneficial to add an option to scan for the art file automatically in the parent directory.

Thank you for considering this feature request!
