Hi there,

I created a little Batch-Script that I'd like to share. It scans your Music-Folder and creates Folder thumbs for your Artists-Folders using your Mediaportal Thumbs-Folder. Additionally, you can choose if all thumbnails should be set as hidden.

So your Music Folder that may look like this

[ATTACH]188753[/ATTACH]

might look like this

[ATTACH]188752[/ATTACH]

If the folder already contains a "folder.jpg"-File, it will be left unchanged. A log is created to keep track what the script did.

Instructions:

Save the .bat in your Music-Folder, run it and follow the instructions.

If you are using a custom Thumbs-Folder (other than "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\Music\Artists") set it in the beginning of the .bat-File after "THUMBSFOLDER=" like this:

[CODE]set THUMBSFOLDER=Q:\Some random\custom\path[/CODE].

You can also specify the Music-Folder in the .bat-File, so you can save the File somewhere else, in a similar fashion:

[CODE]set MUSICFOLDER=M:\My Music Folder[/CODE]

For those two options please make sure that the path does not end with a backslash and is not encased in quotation-marks.

:: Add the Path to your MediaPortal-Thumbsfolder (no backslash at the end)
