#20 Fetching Cover Art Fails

[optimxr]

After loading a folder of flac files(CSNY-American Dream), I click on Fetch Cover Art and the browser links to Discorgs but It throws a script error and cannot continue. Likewise, if I use Search for Cover Art, the browser links to AlbumArt website and finds nothing(strange!). See attached screen shot. Since I have the correct cover art on my local drive, how can I re-direct the browser search to my local drive folder and use the cover art located on the drive? I examined the configure option under Tools, but found no settings that would change the path for fetching cover art. Is there some other choice I am missing? I am running IDTE 2.9.5 on a Windows 10 Pro machine. I am hoping there is a work-around for my problem otherwise I am asking for a new feature to allow the user more control over the cover art searching. Other than this, I am loving the program and appreciate all the hard work that has been done to create such a powerful Metadata application.

Hi optimxr!

You can always add the cover art manually by right clicking on the cover art/disc and selecting the "Add Album Art" option. It will prompt you to select the cover art file (Check the attached screenshot below)

Thanks Rajat, this worked perfectly. I am now able to add cover art to all
the tracks in an album folder. This will save me many hours of labor. If I
may, I would also like to suggest
a way to launch IDTE other than full screen on startup. It would be more
useful to me if it remembered the last size and screen location from the
last session and launched to that earlier position and size. I did not see
an option for this in the configure menus. Also, I am not sure why the
browser search to Discogs throws an error so I have attached a screen shot
of the error for your examination. Let me know if there is something I can
correct here. Thanks again for such a great application.
