    Hmmm, after several restarts, the sorting in my previous comment changed to be correct with all 4 being under H, and others fixed as well.

    So ignore that.

    But I like this, having them in Sort Order, as that's how I also keep my file collection folder names.

    I can confirm that this issue is still ongoing; after a PC restart, strawberry started back up in Spanish.

    Thanks a lot for Strawberry! I've been using it for the past year or so on MacOS and Linux and have really enjoying using it for listening to my music.

    I recently started using Navidrome to host my music collection, and I have noticed that whenever I refresh my music catalogue, the album art can take a long time to download. The specific step is the one where users get a message of "Retrieving album covers for X albums..."

    I am wondering if there is a way to disable this automatic step of downloading cover art when refreshing my Subsonic catalogue? I'm frequently uploading new music to my Navidrome instance, and so waiting on this step to complete (re-fetching album art) can be a time-consuming process.

    In my case, I wouldn't really feel this feature was super necessary if it seemed like the album art cache worked reliably, but it seems that all the album art gets redownloaded anytime I refresh my subsonic music catalogue, but that seems like a separate issue.

    Thanks again for all the work!

    The cause of this issue is that Strawberry does not find hidden album art in the album folder but amarok and clementine do.

    I have taken the Clementine patch issued in 2012 and modified it for the current gentoo release of Strawberry and raised it as an issue on the strawberry github. https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1809

    I didn't see any requests for it in Crowdin, but I've added them now so they should be available right now.

    Hi all, I searched the forums, but couldn't find a match.

    First off, I'm running Debian 12.6 "Bookworm" KDE DE. In Strawberry, every time I select 'Show in file browser' in the context menu it opens up Easytag instead of the Dolphin file manager!

    Any reason why that would be?

    Thanks in advance!
