Re: [Gnump3d-users] Suggestion: Make it possible to delete files from interface

[Ross Mohn]

For the record, I'm completely agains adding functionality to "delete"
or even "mark for deletion". I think that's beyond the scope of this
excellent, simple, elegant application! I don't want to see us adding
unnecessary complications.

On the album art front, this should be in a FAQ somewhere or something!
Here's what you do if, for example, you're using the Tabular theme:
1. open up the index.html file. On my Gentoo system it's
in /usr/share/gnump3d/Tabular/index.html.
2. Go to (about) line 100 and insert this line just before the line
containing <PLAYLISTS>:
         <div align="center"><img src="folder.jpg" alt="&nbsp;"></div>
3. Save and check it out!

I also like to see an icon in front of directories, so I have two files
for each album: folder.jpg and small.jpg. Then I change the
directory_format line in the /etc/gnump3d/gnump3d.conf file:

directory_format = <tr><td width="10%"><div align="center">\
<img src="$LINK/small.jpg" alt="&nbsp;"></div></td><td>\
<a href="$LINK">$DIR_NAME</a>$NEW</td>\
<td>$SONG_COUNT</td><td>$DIR_COUNT</td><td>[$RECURSE]</td></tr>

Enjoy! -RPM
