Show Images Instead Of Icons

Post by Goodog »

Hi Guys

Hopefully someone here can help me with this one. Although I have chosen to embed the album art images in my flac files and I have disabled the 'Always Show Icons, Never Thumbnails' on my folder options, the flac files don't display the album image as a thumbnail but it's only flac files, I also have a few Apple Lossless and some MP3 files and they display the album art thumnails correctly, just not the flac files. I should say that this is on my home computer, on my work computer, I brought some sample files in to test them and found that here, all files display the way I want them to, as thumbnails.... This seems to have no reason to it al all and it's really driving me crazy. Any ideas guys?

Thanks in advance and best regards to all.

Windows explorer can't read FLAC tags so it won't show the album art images as the icons.

Hi Nohitter

Thanks for the reply. I suspected that may be the case only, it does display them as thumbnails on my work PC. Any ideas as to why that might be.

Thanks and best regards

Perhaps you have the album art stored as a .jpg image in the folder there? That's the only explanation I can think of.

Hi Nohitter

I have indeed, I do that as a matter of course both at work and at home. I don't know how to include screenshot images or I could show you an example from my work PC.

Best Regards

Hi Nohitter

I've solved this one myself! The reason I can see the thumbnails on my work PC, even on flac files, is that I have dbPowerAmp 14 installed here and not at home. There I was using R13. When I upgraded, I got the thumbnails!!

Best Regards
