Thumbnail parent folder

[Nutul]

I think this has been asked for in the past. I'll add to the the TODO list to investigate.

@Nutul this is similar to a request for Artist images which is also on the TODO list. These images would be in the Album folder though and not in the parent folder. Maybe the JS for renderFolderView() could be looked at to see if a simple query could be done at each folder level above the album folder for a single, specific file name thats different from the standard cover file names for example "folder_cover.jpg". Something like that.

...any little hope for the next version?

Uh, sorry to say, but not yet, on my side at least...
I do have something in mind that could help in a wider scenario, though; it's just the time that is never enough...

Listen, there is a dirty workaround:

1. you create a 1-second mp3/flac/whatsoever track
2. leave its Artist and AlbumArtist tags EMPTY
3. set its album art to whatever you like for that specific folder
4. place this, and this ONLY file in that "root" directory

RESULT:
1. you'll end up with one more track in the (possibly, not tested yet...) Unknown Artist group (if you browse by artist)
2. the folder containing such file will show its album art

DRAWBACK:
you'll see that one dummy file in the folder contents, alongside with all of the contained folders for your albums.

This is it. I personally don't like it, but if you name the file intelligently, at least it won't hurt the eye when browsing the FOLDER view... This is, of course, until we come up with a cleaner implementation. It might be tomorrow, as it might be next year, just not to give false expectations.

P.S.
What's wrong with you guys using the FOLDER view instead of the more logical TAG (by Artist) view, where everything is organized by ARTIST (which is far more intuitive, and resembles the usual arrangement of the FOLDER tree structure)? Just asking... I'd like to understand, though, because there's more than one out there using this, hence there must be something to it.
