Skipping images and ini-files #19

Closed xtemp09 closed 9 years ago

xtemp09 commented 9 years ago

When one adds a directory, the program recursively searches for files, adding only those ones that are supported, skipping other files.

Could you add statistics for that? For example, if the program skips image file (JPEG or PNG) in the end Lame XP says something like: "6 images skipped." Some directories contain Desktop.ini or Thumb.db. I suggest skipping them and adding to the statistics as well.

I imagine the final Message Box saying the following: "60 media files have been added. 7 image files and 7 thumbnail files have been skipped."

I think that it will be more informative than just "14 files have been skipped."

This is not really feasible. LameXP doesn't know (and doesn't need to know) anything about, e.g., "image" or "thumbnail" files. Either a file is a supported audio file type, as detected by MediaInfo, or it is an unknown file, which LameXP cannot handle and which therefore has to be skipped. Surely, special detection routines could be implemented for "image" or "thumbnail" files. But why this extra effort and why especially these types? Do we need also need special detection routines for, e.g., Word documents?
