The art_filename made the code really gross, and it was making adding features hard. So I killed it.

With 0.2.4, the problem was that the file was renamed, not deleted. So it saw that the file itself hadn’t changed, so it didn’t re-index it. The way to fix that would have been to delete the songs.gdb in /var/cache/mt-daapd and let it re-scan.

That’s a dumb (and long-standing) bug. My bad. 🙁

As far as the art_filename goes, you can use something like mp3tag to import cover art from folder images: (I found this on a board somewhere):

You can use http://mp3tag.de/en/index.html
Load your files, select them, press Shift+Alt+5 and choose “Import cover from file”
Then just enter folder.jpg as format string and let it work.
