Description Ed Catmur 2007-01-03 03:36:40 UTC 
The album-art plugin should set a watch on folders in case the user drops an appropriate cover.jpg etc. file in there while the track is playing.

In LocalCoverArtSearch.py, you'd need a member to keep track of the currently opened entry. When a new entry is set, start monitoring the directory (probably only if the file is local, or using inotify python bindings directly), and watch for any newly created files.

When the created file is closed (meaning writing finished), call the cover_art_uri_notify with the new entry. Monitoring should probably only start when the entry doesn't already have cover art though.
