Overview

A great way to customize the way MediaPortal presents content inside the graphical user interface is to use

folder.jpg

files. When you place such a file inside a folder, MediaPortal will automatically display that image instead of the default folder, CD/DVD, harddisk icon or the thumbnail it automatically creates based on the videos or pictures inside that folder.

The design concept is described here.

Description of Change

With this new option the user will be able to show the folder.jpg if the share is pin protected.

The default option will be to not show a present folder.jpg and have MediaPortal display the default icon instead. So there is no risk that unsafe content is displayed as an icon for a locked folder. This is done with good intentions, because if no folder.jpg is present, MediaPortal will automatically generate a folder.jpg from video and images inside a folder.
