How can i give each folder it''s own icon/image ?

[Wilco]

I have 2 kids who can't read yet.

When i can give each folder an own picture, they can browse on their own.

But how do i do that ?

I think it depends on the device.
But try place a jpg called "folder.jpg" inside the folder.

Try not to use too huge a jpg.

Note: This will change all image/icon of all other files inside that folder

I tried it with a jpg file from 32x32x2 pics, but doesn't work

Ok, something like 256x256 should be fine. Maybe your device just does not support "folder.jpg"

What device are you trying to do this with?, if it's a PlayStation, i dont think it will work.

A long shot.. you could try cover.jpg / poster.jpg / keyart.jpg / art.jpg / albumart.jpg

It has to be named either folder.jpg or folder.png (code). I've never seen it working as I haven't got a renderer which supports folder thumbnails though.

I use a windows 7 machine voor UMS ?

I put a folder.png file, 256x256x24 2KB, in a subfolder but it is just displayed as a picture...

The same if i put a folder.jpg file...

[Wilco]

Does anybody have an idea, so my children can do it theirselfs ?

You didn't tell us what is your renderer. Generally to put folder.jpg or folder.png should work if your renderer supports external folders image. You can try to add to your renderer conf file the

Code: Select all

ThumbnailAsResource = true

and test it.

i use the standaard UMS on a windows 7 machine ?

what do you mean by renderer ? where can i find that ?

in what .conf file must i at the line ? where is it located ?

[squadjot]

On the status tab in UMS, you should be able to see your renderer.
If you click on the renderer icon, you can see which render config is being used for it.

Those renderer profiles are located in the UMS program folder in a folder called "renderers"

You can add the line anywhere in the config
