[QUOTE="Domagoj, post: 853949, member: 119706"] Hi! I have a problem with creation of folder thumb in "Album Artist" view when dealing with compilations. Here it is: [ATTACH]101038[/ATTACH] You see that "Blue Note Trip" doesn't have a folder thumb created, but an album inside does (so does the disk# view and the tracks view): [ATTACH]101039[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]101040[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]101041[/ATTACH] Here is how the tagging is done for this album: [ATTACH]101043[/ATTACH] Album Artist and Album is the same for all the tacks. The tracks have different Artist and Title depending on tracks themself (naturally). "Part of a compilation" is used for all the tracks. Disk # is used (1/2 and 2/2). foder.jpg is used and album art is embedded in tags. And then this happened: [ATTACH]101044[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]101045[/ATTACH] You can see that for "St. Germain" there's a "Blue Note Trip" picture listed as an album in folder thumb, in Album Artist View. And when inside, there's no such album for this Album Artist. This Artist/ Album Artist is listed as one of the Artists in "Blue Note Trip" compilation. This gives me a conclusion that folder thumbs are created and shown for Artist and not for Album Artist, even when in Album Artist View. It also appears that every Artist in "Blue Note Trip" compilation has it's own backdrop, not relevant to Album Artist, but to Artist itself. So, is there any way to tweak something in config to force MP in creation Album Artist based thumb? It's kinda silly to have a picture of compilation album placed in thumb, in Album Artist view, for an Artist that happened to be in that compilation. [/QUOTE]
