Here's a console time-saver even counting the research time. I'm always interested in more efficient suggestions.
SITUATION:
I've got 16,000 OGGs and MP3s with album art installed in each directory.
Much of it was installed with albumart-qt
Many of the .directory files tellling KDE (and Windoze) where to look for the
albumart includes a full path, which changes depending on which OS is
accessing the drive.
Directories are organized this
way: /collection/[alphanum]/[artist-group]/album/tracks
i.e. /collection/a/alphaville/forever young/big in japan.ogg
or /collection/r/rush/roll the bones/ghost of a chance.mp3
SOLUTION:
The following script parses all subdirectories (from where it's bashed)
looking for hidden .directory files. This script then replaces
the /absolutepathname/.folder.png with ./.folder.png.
find . -name .directory -type f -exec
sed --in-place -e 's/^Icon\=.*\.folder\.png/Icon\=\.\/\.folder\.png/g' {} \;
Now I've got the album art as my directory icons, no matter whose computer is
attached to my external drive.
