Covers management

[Guy_M]

I would like to totaly disable covers of album.

In "Preferences" in the tab "Covers", it's possible to unselect "Grab covers online" In "Album catalog" it's possible to "display albums without cover", you can "Rebuilds thumbnails".

But, it's impossible to clear thumbnails and album covers.

Can you add this functionality or any functionality that disable cover management ? Is there any tips (like delete all files in a directory) to achieve this and stop to display covers ?

Plus court en français : J'aimerai totalement interdire la gestion des pochettes : pas de téléchargement, pas d'affichage, suppression de tout ce qui a déjà été téléchargé. Soit pas l'ajout d'une ou plusieurs fonctions, soit par une astuce en supprimant les ficheirs de pochettes.

Very simple indeed : just close the Cover views and any view you don't like. Perspectives personnalisation is one of the main principle of Jajuk. Moreover, Jajuk will run faster and use less memory with less views.

On covers removal, you can use the "Delete" button in cover view to drop a single cover but there's no such feature to remove all covers of your collection (and we won't implement this). If you want to remove any image file, use the find command under Unix or windows search tools to select and delete them. If you want only to remove all covers downloaded by jajuk, search image files in your collection beginning by "jajuk_" and delete them.

I didn't find any "jajuk_" image files.

I found a directory '.jajuk\thumbs' contening all cover pictures. I deleted all files in this directory and childs, then all covers (except 3 !) diseappered in Jajuk.

Here is the tip ! Any help for the three last one. They got the same image. The "Delete" button doesn't work for these 3 last covers.

Errata: it's *_jajuk files with music files (not in .jajuk directory).

I think you're confused between covers and thumbs. What you're speaking about are cover thumbs displayed in several views like suggestion, catalog, album popups ... Note that you note drop them all and rebuild them using the "Rebuild" button in the catalog view.
