Sapphire uses different gem icons to filter files. Here is a short description on what each color signifies:
- Red Gems - All files
- Blue Gems - Unwatched files only
- Yellow Gems - Favorite files only
Cover Art
Sapphire now supports ATVFiles's cover art naming convention.
- Directories will use an image with the name cover.ext
- Files will use an image with the name <FileName>.ext
Fetch Tool
Sapphire will also attempt to download cover art (for files only) automatically from TVRage.com. Any cover art that the fetch tool finds will be placed in the directory below:
/Library/Application Support/Sapphire
