When setting local file as album image - open the file dialogue in the same folder as the mp3's
I've been trying to use eJukebox's own "Set Local or Internet file as Album / Id3 Image" lately, and it works all right.
But it would be so much easier if the file requester opened in the same folder as the album you are working on - maybe even suggesting the name
"cover.jpg" or "folder.jpg" if it existed.
It's tedious to navigate your way back and forth through tons of folders to find the right one. This function would definately make things a lot
easier for me.

"cover.jpg" or "folder.jpg" isn't going to be very practical unless you have exactly one album per directory.
What makes more sense to me is that it assumes that the jpeg is named the same thing as the Album. You'd get an occasional problem with
identically named albums, but then again this would only be a default. So, for example, the assumed default image name for the The Cure album
"Boys Don't Cry" would be "Boys Don't Cry.jpg"--by default in the same directory as the track you are currently editing.

I guess the folder structure of how how we organize our mp3's are quite individual.
For me, its:
Artist \ Albumname \ (.mp3 + cover.jpg)
But we agree on the requester opening in the same folder, anyhow, which is the vital thing to me.  However, if it opened with a filter for images (*.jpg *.gif *.png etc..) it would be just as good for me.

I also agree. It is halfway there. When I click on the album name info it opens to allmusic and ready with album name inserted. I navigate to album
and save the cover to my album directory. When I ask eJ to use a file it goes right there. But if you just want to add one you already have, it is
tedious drilling down to the right album.
I use the Artist/Album dir structure as well. The artist list goes on and on.
The dialog box for navigating to a album dir for me shows me maybe thirty at once and I have to navigate SIDEWAYS thirty at a time to get where I
want. It would be much easier to just give a vertical list with scroll bar.

I would like this way too.
Thanks.
