Alternate Link to Change Artwork

[mockingbrd]

I have an album in my library whose album-art is unusually long vertically. As a result, the image blocks the "Change | Zoom" links. Is there an alternate link somewhere to change the artwork? If not, that would be nice for situations like this. Thanks!

There is not. Here's what I do...

1. Go to any other album, and find the "change" link and right click on it and copy the link address to the clipboard.
2. Open notepad and paste the line in there. Then skip a few lines. it should look like this:

Code: Select all

https://your.server.ip:AndPort/yourContextPath/changeCoverArt.view?pathUtf8Hex=5c5c474d53486f6d65536572766572315c4d757369635c427275636520537072696e67737465656e5c323031322d30332d3236202d20466c6565742043656e7465722c20426f73746f6e2c204d412028486f6262657320536f7572636529

3. Go back to subsonic and go up one folder from the offending album so that you can see a link to the album that has the bad art. Right click on the album and copy that address to the clipboard.
4. Go back into notepad and paste the secondURL at the bottom... it should look like this:

Code: Select all

https://your.server.ip:AndPort/yourContextPath/main.view?pathUtf8Hex=5c5c474d53486f6d65536572766572315c4d757369635c427275636520537072696e67737465656e5c313937382d30392d3139202d2050617373616963204e4a

5. Copy everything after the equals sign from the second address.
6. Delete everything after the equals in the FIRST address, and then paste the path you copied onto the end.
7. Copy the entire first link and paste it into a new browser window.
8. Change the artwork

Complicated, but not that bad...

Or just go to the folder where the cover art was saved and then delete the jpg file. Then go back and find another cover.

I just tab through it till I think I've got it, then I press "enter." Or I sit there trying to click it before the image loads, which never works!

Thanks for the replies- I hadn't thought about copying the links and swapping the addresses. Will try that and the tab-method.

Although for the those, admittedly rare occasions, where this is a problem , suitable "padding" or moving the link above the image would be be more more beneficial. HINT

Or we could add an option to change the art instead of zooming on click. So clicking the image would go to the "Change Cover Art" page instead of zooming it. You could turn the option on and off when needed.
