PictureFlow doesn't show covers on Sansa Clip+

iluxa:
Well, what should I do to get anything like the picture above?

Llorean:
Don't use embedded album art, since pictureflow doesn't support it. Use the other method instead.

Hey iluxa,

try using a sane folder structure (e.g. one folder per album) and put a folder.jpg file, which is the scan of the CD cover into that folder. Be sure, that every file from the same album has the same album tag and also be sure to have jpg-files which are not progressive jpg-files. Rockbox doesn't support progressive jpgs.

If you have loose files from different albums with different album tags in a folder, pictureflow will create several "slides" for that specific folder, but it will use the same Folder.jpg-file as album art for those files. For albums, that consist of more than one CD be sure to tag every file with the right position in the media set (e.g. CD1 of 2, CD2 of 2, so that after track one from CD1 there is track2 from CD1 shown and not track 1 from CD2... refer to your id3-tag editor for propper tagging).

After you have a nice folder structure and the right Folder.jpg's in the correspondent folders, update your database and let pictureflow rebuild the cache.

Hope that was helpful.

Greetings

This should probably be filed as a bug against the manual.

The Pictureflow manual entry links to the album art manual entry (which describes how to name images) but the album art manual entry is non-existent for the Clip+ (all monochrome targets?).

To directly answer the question on file naming see any one of the other manuals, for example:
http://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-ipodvideo/rockbox-buildap3.html#x18-395000C.21

I'm not sure if the PictureFlow entry should be amended to include file naming conventions for monochrome targets or whether the Album Art entry should be built for monochrome targets while disclaiming the fact Album Art in the WPS is not available.  I rather suspect the former.
