I have used AAT for a long time and I am experiencing odd behavior with version 5.1. When I use Option # 4 (extract artwork and resize) it appears that only certain specific file types will be extracted although there is nowhere to specify which file types are to be extracted. In previous versions the first image was extracted regardless of type. It turns out that required file types are set when using other options, eg Option #2 (embed to tag). The file type you specify for creation in Option #2 is carried over as a requirement for extraction in Option #4. If the first image is not the right file type then the image is not extracted.

I have switched back to version 4.9 in the meantime and everything seems fine again.

AAT 5.1
MM debug 4.1.0.1629 (Portable Mode)



OH, now I see this issue was addressed a while ago and will be fixed w/ next version - sorry ... nevermind.

Thanks for the report, I'll try to replicate.

Bug report: Mediamonkey 4.1.0.1630

Using 01. Tag to mask.
Under Please choose appropriate... if there is no "\", for example, "\folder" to create a "folder.jpg" from tag, There will be a error
"fso.Folderexists" "Line 1585, Column 2", MM will also crash.

On 5.1 if I try to extract artwork and resize external image I'm getting the Duplicate or wrong type message (blue) even though I don't have any images at all in the folder. I've reverted back to v5.0 and everything is working as expected? Thanks

Hey Guys

I have tried to solve this myself but cant figure it out. It worked last time I used the script.

I have all my album art in the tag (500x500px) I want to extract this picture and add it to the album folder as folder.jpg. I'm assuming I should use option "01. Extract artwork (copy from tag to mask)". However when I do that everything comes up blue (i.e. "Duplicate or wrong type"). There are no duplicates. No file is written to the folder

Any idea

Hi Trixmoto,

I posted a feature request in a new thread: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=70128

It's based on this script so I was hoping you could take a look and let me know what you think. Album art tagger is great. But my wishlist was something that would allow me to run against a large music collection to get it a starting point where I could then take over with Album art tagger to finish it off.

I understand it is probably a very large request, but it looks like something that could be made from your existing script with some limited modifications. It's the kind of thing I would try myself if I had any clue how to do so.

Thanks for your time and your great work,

Any way of having AAT perform 02. Embed artwork (copy from mask to tag) only on files that don't already have embedded artwork?

I have been trying to find a way of making a selection for files not containing embedded artwork before running option 02, but haven't come up with anything.

See my response in the "Batch Art Finder" thread.

I am I currently running both 4.0.7.1511 and 3.2.5.1306 in different directories with my various scripts installed on both. If I'm unable to see AAT after I install it within my 4.0.x installations. Actually I'm having the same issue in multiple scripts where I can only see them in my 3.2 version. This has been going on for quite some time now so I just use both and depending on what I want to edit I use different version of MM, but I'm finally looking to consolidate into 4.0.

I've ran MM in Admin mode then tried to install the script, I've ran it as a normal user then tried to install etc...

I think there something that I'm missing which is a bit more fundamental... Any help is appreciated.

Here's a listing of scripts which all seem to behave like this, it may help to isolate the issue:
- Album Art Tagger
- Batch Art Finder
- Clear Field
- Genre Finder

Many thanks ahead of time,
Belg

Any suggestions on a good easy way?

I see that I can export as a specific size, and name after different fields... just wondering which field would be best and cause the least screw ups when importing them again. For example, export based on ID?

Album wise won't be so much an issue... I'm looking more at a large folder of random singles that could potentially create some headache.

No directly, but you could export them and resize them, then embed them as a separate step.

This is great!

I screwed my database up a bit, came across this and saved me a LOT of work.

I noticed it had an image extract/resize option, just wondered, is there a way to resize the image in the tag? I have a folder of about 1,000 singles and ideally I want to batch process and have all images resized to exactly 400x400 ignoring aspect ratio... I'm fine with a little distortion, just seems that more often than not the files are 3-4 pixels shorter on one side.
