Hi,

I'm using the 'Import Cover from File' Action, and would like to be able to put multiple fileanames for it to look for.

For example, the cover may be stored as front.jpg, front.gif, front.png or cover-front.jpg

So I would like to be able to cover them all in one go. Is this already possible? If not, any chance it can be implemented, using semi-colons or something?

Thanks

However - no solution at this time ;(

Few days ago there was a suggestion from another user to use the cover import action and call it repeatedly as how many cover import actions as needed, one for "front.jpg", one for "front.gif" and so on.
