Does this still work it looks like Google changed the layout of their page so that now it uses javascript to load the image

Dear Anonymous Guy,

glad it’s of help to you!

You can have the image named the same as the folder name in stead of folder.jpg by changing this line of script:

file_put_contents(“{$folder}/folder.jpg”,$imageContents);

file_put_contents(“{$folder}/{$folder}.jpg”,$imageContents);

This way you would get an image like c:\map\to\thumbnailize\some_folder_name\some_folder_name.jpg

Hope this helps!

This is a brilliant little script, not just for mp3s may I add ;)

I used a text file (line seperated) with a list of folders I wanted created and then ran this:

FOR /F “delims=~” %f in (FolderList.txt) DO MD “%f”

Which creates all the folders in the directory you run it from.

I then ran your helpful script to get images for every folder :) Can be used for just about anything!

One question I must ask though…is there anyway to make it so the images are named the same as the folder???

Thanks dude!
