Ive named them , Front, Label, Reverse so logially, i think, they should show up on the folder in that order, but they don't all do that, in fact most of them seem to be in any bloody order it fancies! Can somebody tell me where i'm going wrong before i end up as a chrome dome? win 7 x64 thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i'd love to see the rest of you collection some time Stool, I just bought some Dennon CDJ's to go along with my Technic's 1210's so maybe do some trading some day eh ?

Yes, that's what i thought. surely it would choose the file first in alphabetical order to put at the front? I did wonder if it was picking them by file size but it doen't seem to do that either. I HATE things that aren't uniform.... As for trades, yes mate defo. Ain't got much in the way of newer stuff, the last 2-3 years as i retired when i moved to the sticks. Everything is now in mp3 as i was using a lappy to dj. Is there anyway to create a list of files, say copy and paste the titles/artists to a text file? i'd sure as fuck hate to have to make a list manually! Also got about 12,000 karaoke files that play on the pc/lappy if ur interested, i used to play them in winamp and out to screens all over the venue, piece of piss, course now i use Virtual DJ, just getting to grips mixing with video.......

And what way I ask is wrong with a chrome dome mr hairy hairy head - Hey Labob Haven't tried that yet but i'll give it a stab, but as i said to Phantom, i'd assume it would sort them alphabetically. It seems to do it with some files/folders but not others. I don't want a picture of a cd on the folder, i want the picture of the cd/album cover on the folder. I'll try it in a bit an post back. Having a wonderful head of hair, (even if it is so grey i look like Kenny Rodgers) is a wonderful thing. If i pull all mine out , i'd have kids offering to polish my head for a quid......... besides which, i'd look like Big Daddy, AKA Shirley Crabtree...............

Go to the true folder path. Not libaries, My pictures, but C:\users\joe bloggs\my pictures. Right click the folder in question and choose properties. Then choose customise. Under the folder pictures section select choose file. Choose the file and it will become the image of the folder. Now for a working solution (however this only shows one picture in the folder icon, not multiples). find the picture folder you want (via your preferred mathod). Open the folder and find the picutre within it, that you would like to be the image. Then rename it to folder.jpg. An example might be a photo with the folder called 100_0062.JPG. Simply rename it to folder.JPG. now go back a level to look at the folder image. Fixed Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
