Artwork
Images can be attached to a recording such as album art. This is a multi value field with multiple attributes, a thumbnail of the first image is displayed in the View Panel
From the Edit Pane we can select Multi Field Count to add new images
An image consists of
- The Image itself, you can add an image with the Select File button. You should take care to add images of a suitable type and size, only images in JPG format should be added for maximum portability and you should scale the image so that its file size is not too large
- A name, this is a text field where you can give the image a name
- A type, this is a Selectable Combo where you select a type from a predefined list
The list on the lefthandside shows all images attached to this audio file. It shows additional attributes than cannot be modified.
- The dimensions of the image in pixels
- The size of the picture in bytes
Sometimes we may load an Audio File which contains an Image field but no actual picture because the tagging information was incorrectly created with another application. You can still edit this field with Jaikoz but will not see a preview until you add a new valid image.
If may contain an image field with a picture in a format not supported by Jaikoz, in this case no preview will be displayed but you can still edit the other attributes of the image.
The supported Image Types are:
- JPEG
- GIF
- PNG
