Convert folder.jpg to cover.bmp

(1/4) > >>

RubenK:
Well, we all know the problem... You always find those folder.jpg files but rockbox hates those, so you have to convert them to a cover.bmp file. Sure, there are script already made for that, but even that's to much work if you ask me. Why not integrate it into rockbox itself. How hard can it be to have a something covert some folder.jpg's to cover.bmp's?
I'm no programmer and I couldn't find any topics relating to this issue. Please forgive me if I did or said something stupid :P
At least I just want to say that I enjoy using Rockbox very much and it made my sansa e200, which was a very good buy, an even better one. Keep up the good work!!!

Your computer is many hundred times the speed of your MP3 player.

If it takes 5 minutes to convert all the files on your computer, it could take half a day on your MP3 player.

RubenK:
Yeah, sure, I get that. But how much would memory would it take? 10 kb max? That should be possible right? It can show HD images on high res; 120×120 bitmap files should be a piece of cake or is there something that I'm missing? It's like refreshing the database, only it will take just that little more time. Off course it then should be optional so people who want to have a quick start-up are happy folks as well. :P
Let me know what you think  ;)

Llorean:
So you're saying you'd rather sit your MP3 player on a desk for half a day (12 hours) waiting for it to convert images than just run a script on your computer once for five minutes?

RubenK:
I was kind of interpreting that the numbers you were saying were exaggerated... :P Will converting 10 to 20 jpg files of no more than 10 kb a piece to bmp really take half a day? If so, I ask you how it's able to show video's, play music while playing games aswell, display a 4000×4000 detailed image, etc, etc.
