Howto: Music album covers in Thunar Nautilus and everywhere!

[Yuzem]

love it! really good thanks! my avatar-launcher was in /usr/local/bin btw

pity exaile doesnt work with it but im really impressed with the whole thing

Ahh thats not the configuration file. If you set the options there they will be overwritten every time you update the script.
The configuration file is: ~/.avatar-factory/avatar-launcher
If it doesn't exist, create it.

Amazing work really. I have a request for a future release.
I use the option --type 0 and its awsome, but when i enter a album and hit back in nautilus I get back to the folder with my albums, not the folder where the pictures are. Is it possible to make it work that way?

[Yuzem]

You should use the up button (alt+up)

That doesnt work. Still the same. I end up in my music-album-folder.

Looks REALLY great, but could you make it work with mpd and sonata ( mpd client ) ?

It would be cool if the cd cover removed itself from the desktop if you exit the music player.
Nonetheless great work!

Thats really strange.

Maybe I am not understanding:

you are in ~/pretty-covers
you clic on mysteriousAlbum
then you are in ~/Music/mysteriousCategory/mysteriousAlbum
If you hit the back button it should send you to ~/pretty-covers
The up button (the third button from the left) should send you to ~/Music/mysteriousCategory/

If the up button is sending you to ~/pretty-covers then I really have no clue about that.
Could it be a Nautilus bug?

Thanks. mpd and sonata support in the next version

I will see what I can do. Thanks.

is there a way to make it just make the folder icon the avatar install of having the avatar picture for a .m3u list? i know i can do manually but i got a huge libarry of music

made a small script

gedit ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/avatar-factory

then insert

avatar-factory -mg . .

. stands for the current folder you are in with nautilst

so it will create the image and create the playlist for you saves alot of typing

not sure if its aoutmatic right click then scripts, might be just me and whyone else who installed the nautilist scripts from automatix
