Attn: Tinwarble - Genre Folder Thumb request

[ZEST_]

OK. No solution is actually working for my thumbs (clearing media library, deleting the Thumb directory, unplug the HUB, etc.) I also changed the theme (moved to Darklight) and it’s not better. Any of my directories still refuse to take the “folder.jpg” image. I have to delete all informations of all movies inside a directory for it works. But then, when I add a cover on a movie, it replaces the image of the folder.jpg... Weird problem.

What FW is running on your HUB?

If it's a FW later then 2.07 maybe this is what causing it ... Click

If so you can try the workaround posted in the second comment

by DimitarCC

Well there is workarownd to that. Actually 2!

1. to rename all .metathumb files to .jpg and recompile and restart the hub.

2. to rename the folder.jpg to something like !folder.meathumb so that to show up first in the folder In both ways up the folder image display correct!

But ofcource WD have to fix that ugly bug!

Thanks Medic.

I'm using the last firmware. I should probably downgrade it if it's not too difficult.

I will try first what you say in your last post.

Great ! Thanks Medic, my problem is solved !!!

Hope this bug will be fixed in the next FW ...

[Medic]

YW!

Hi Mate,

Hope im not being too cheeky but would you consider providing the .psd or .png filed you used to create these folder thumbnails so that we can create our own (its the without reflection one im interested in). If not i would appreciate it if you could create me one for a photo's folder. Thanks

Links are in his post ...

In the zip files you will find folder.xcf which is probably the folder file collection. The xcf extension is used by Gimp

What is the best way to create a new folder.jpg with different text from one of the layers ?

Background:

I need a picure with each letter from the alphabet.

The text should be similar  to pasted Layer #5 in Genre Folders - Reflections in Genre.xcf.

I want to use it as a visualisation for my folders named "--- A ---", "--- B ---", ...

Each folder contains the artists, so I have ABBA, Alphaville .. in folder "--- A ---" etc.

Background II:

I need a picture for each year for my photo collection.

All pictures from 2010 are in a folder nemed "2010",

or do we already have folder.jpgs with letters/years somewhere ?
