Artwork to Folder Icon

This function is used to place artwork on the icon of the folder containing a file. Alternately, you can specify that a track's parent folder icon be set. Note that the the default artwork item is used (the first artwork item in a file). The operation is performed at most once per folder.

To automatically issue a search request for missing artwork, select a search template. To automatically search for newer artwork if the existing artwork is smaller than a certain size, specify a size. 0 implies do not test. The search template can be chosen from the popup list or manually entered. The only reason to manually enter the template name is if you wish to specify the name at runtime. The template field may contain any of the escape sequences described in Escape Sequences.

When doing a size test the default method is to test if either of an artwork item's width or height is less than the specified size. If you wish the test to fail only if both the width and height are less than the specified size, select the w & h option.

If a search is issued, the action processing will be paused and the Pending Action dialog will be presented. If you find artwork you like, you can drag it in to the artwork tab and continue the action processing. Alternately, you can cancel the action step or skip the step. If the search was triggered due to the size option, remember to make any new artwork added the first in the list before you continue.

While implemented to be very efficient in stepwise mode, this function is valid in all execution contexts.
