slideshow folder.jpg

[azzuro]

Hi everybody,
You know that Media Portal creates folder.jpg files in picture folders... These pictures appears in slideshows... If you don't want to see them in slideshows or in your path, you can rename your folder.jpg into folder.xpg, extension which can be learnt by Media Portal, as a miniature.
Another solution, but not easy to use : hide those folder.jpg (in the file's properties). Problem : you have to make it every time you add a folder which contains these kind of file.

Can you name other programs which create folder.jpg files which are NOT hidden (despite early MP releases of course)?

Hi rtv,

I greatly apologize for azzuro forum member.

He admit that he doesn't understand what you said in english because he has 4/20 notation in english language exam, he copy/paste another translation from other french member.
The subject (in french) is here :
Les Miniatures Generés Par Mp Apparaissent Dans Les Slideshows - MP-FR .:: Le forum ::.

Then, I translated to him your answer.

azzuro said :
"I don't understand what a german dev said on official forum"

Here was my answer (Literally) :
"I translate what rtv said who is german nationality but, also one of the great MP international Dev :
- translation same as you explain, of course (well I hope)
Added : What is your MP version ?
Please, try latest SVN (with MP backup folder before)."

Sorry for annoyance.

hmmm between us, what about hidden attribute file management in this case ?
Best regards.

Some weeks ago I've changed thumbnail generation in SVN for _all_ parts of MP. Maybe I've missed a place but every thumb should now be hidden right after creation.

I've also asked for other programs which create folder.jpg files for this reason:
If some very popular program (like irfanview, picasa, etc) do not hide these thumbs then maybe we should "blacklist" folder.jpg from slideshows.

Somehow like:
foreach (picture x in slideshow)
{
if (x.filename == folder.jpg)
continue; // do not show that picture
}

What about this, should folder.jpg be hidden when you view your pictures in MP? For me it's shown in every view type.
I'm running RC2.
