The library and cover chooser windows can sort albums by brightness, hue, saturation, all 'sorts' of stuff.. (prefs->library->colour sort mode) The cover chooser can filter on various colour options (cover chooser->search->colours) When populating the cover-art window, the hue is used to draw the item before the cached thumbnail has been loaded. Also in non-layout mode if you turn off the artwork, the circles are drawn with the hue too. Once the artwork image is in memory, generating the average hue is seriously quick.. It just resizes the art to a 1x1 bitmap.. Grabbing the full-sized thumbnail from slimserver and saving the 100x100 resized thumbnail as a jpeg are the things which take time during scanning.. -- - Dr Lovegrove http://www.rusticrhino.com/drlovegrove http://groups.google.com/group/moosenews _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
