i didnt really understand the place holders, ive followed your image. apologies for the noob questions

sorry for inconvenience, is there away for it to search for any jpg within the folder, as some of my art is labelled different? so in your image if i just add .jpg would that find any JPG and add it?

right i will experiment with that, i mean what would be good is for it to add all the covers and then you remove which ones are not correct thank you buddy
