Normal topic[REQUEST] How many cover images are there?

When I load a group of albums into Yate (having organised the folders, created covers, etc.) I often find I've missed something, regardless of how careful I've been.

There are several points along the way where certain things I do act as a kind of "check sum" to catch the mistakes.

When it comes to covers, there are a couple of gotchas.

Roon will automatically use an image file if it's called cover, folder, front, etc. Plex will not.

Thanks to you, I have an action that will look into the folders the tracks come from & load up an image with "cover.jpg" in the name, so that there is a specific cover image connected to each album.

But I won't know if I've missed any until I drop the albums into the library folder & wait. This can take a long time with big box sets. Then I have to take them out again, fix the mistakes & put them back in.

One thing that would be really handy would be to see how many cover images are loaded. If it's a 54 (or 154) disc set, some kind of number would let me know know if I have the right number of covers without going through the long-winded loading-removing-reloading process to find out.

The attached screenshot is a 53 album set. If it were to say "53" at the top or bottom of the covers column or maybe "1 of 53" above or below the larger cover image, I would know than none are missing before I drop the set into the library folder & that could save me a lot of time. 🙂

Far too specific for a UI change.

Download https://2manyrobots.com/actions/Artwork-Count.zip

Right click in the large image well and select either Artwork Count or Artwork Actions>Artwork Count. This is configurable on the same context menu under View Options.

A popup menu centered on the display will appear with the number of unique artwork items across the selected files. If you click in the popup you can change the font size via ⌘+ and ⌘-.

If you want a keyboard shortcut it'll be in the Actions>User defined submenu in Settings-Actions.
