'Save artwork into media folders' doesn't seem to apply to extras

[roaku 795]

When 'save artwork into media folders' is checked in a library of 'Movie' type (possibly others), new images get saved in the media folder for the main item, but not for extras associated with that item.

I can't actually find the original extras images anywhere in the metadata folder. The only reference to them I can find is in the resized-images cache.

I'm starting to get quite a few custom images for my extras and I'd like to avoid having to re-associate them all in the event something unfortunate happens.

Looks like the server will save extras images to /metadata/library, so you would have to query the api to know exactly where the image is.

But manually putting images next to the extra does get used (/movie (2021)/extras/filename-poster.ext).

That should work for me in this case. Thanks.

We should be able to update the image saving to make this happen.

That would be ideal. Thanks.

An extras plugin I'm working on has really drawn attention to this image saving omission.

You can't have all your artwork with your media without it...

Is this still on the agenda? I'd like it to be.

Have you tried this on the beta channel by any chance?

Yes, my attention was drawn to this again during my no mounted drives snafu I reported yesterday, which occurred on a beta server.

OK, we'll update it so that the option will also apply to extras.

It looks like extras art is now properly saving with media when the option is checked in beta. Thanks.
