Default Just curious, is it supposed to do this? Re: Manage Covers

I uploaded scans for a couple Cardcaptor Sakura albums, and since the filenames I use are the album name followed by a description, so something like: "Cardcaptor Sakura back.jpg" Because the filenames happen to start with one of the dropdown list items, in this case "Card", it automatically chose that and then filled in the textbox with enough of the remaining filename to exactly fill the box, cutting off anything extra (even though the field isn't limited to what is visible). I tried it out by renaming files starting with a few other dropdown choices and it worked for every one I tried. Is this just a happy accident or is it supposed to function that way?

It's not a concern to me. I just found it interesting.

I guess if I would have known it did this a while ago, I could have saved myself a ton of typing, as I could have named my files to take advantage of this, uploaded the scans, then added the album titles to the files for my own use. I just checked, and it doesn't include the file extension in the textbox. So if your file is named simply "disc.jpg", it will autoselect Disc from the dropdown box and leave the textbox empty.

It's a feature for sure, as it parses (separates) file names in a similar way that track lists and the like are parsed, detecting values it recognizes in its system.
If it doesn't find any, they would have to be input manually though.
