[QUOTE="Mercbac, post: 207154, member: 48233"] Thanks for all your work on this rtv! I finally got around to testing this in a bit more detail and the system works; I don't even think that adding one more option under the movie config section is such a bad solution. However, I did find an exception, where .iso images do not keep their coverart in filmstrip view (or any of the other views). Even though it works fine for .avi files. When hitting F3 the coverart does show up though, and going into the editor part of the config tool, I could not see a difference between a .iso and a .avi file under the coverart tab. One other thing I tried was to switch Windows (Vista in my case) to the setting where it only uses icons for preview instead of thumbnails. This is where Vista moves away again from the folder.jpg logic that was introduced in WinXP. So my thought was that maybe by switching it off in Vista and making the OS behave more like XP again (in this particular feature then), maybe MP would mirror the OS behaviour.
