Episode image naming convention

[GrimReaper 5075]

How to name episode thumb (landscape) so it gets picked up as thumb-type image instead of primary-type one? Tried with "-landscape.ext" but that one gets completely ignored.

In addition, why does manually assigned thumb-type image get saved only in server metadata folder when it is explicitly opted-in to save artwork in media folders/next to media?

Thanks

There currently isn't a naming convention for that, and so that's why it goes into the metadata folder.

I think we consider the thumb of an episode to be that of its parent Series.  I've never heard of an episode have a bespoke thumb image...

Well, can we implement one (<episodefilename>-landscape.ext seems like a natural choice, moreso as it does get saved as landscape.ext in server metadata folder)? It can be assigned and it is used if present (takes priority over Series thumb) - and there are few new plugins that make use of it.

We currently utilize Series thumb if episode thumb not present. And as no naming convention, it can't be automated, just manually assigned. Trying to change that.
