Description Sergey Nazarov 2007-04-24 21:37:54 UTC 
Even though Banshee offers good metadata editing capabilities, changing (or just adding) cover art for the given file is a demanded feature. One of possible implementations is changing the behavior of cover art thumbnail, i.e. make left click responsible for invoking cover art management dialog, while left click will invoke cover art popup window.

Cover art management dialog should include options to use folder.jpg, cover.jpg or any other image found in the directory. It is also useful to have the ability to use the image fetched by Banshee itself.

Please specify the latest version of banshee you have been able to test this against or let us know that this is no longer a problem. Thank you for helping us keep track of your bug.

As far as I know, the covers are downloaded (if possible) from MusicBrainz, or taken from the system if there is an image named 'folder.jpg'. It should be nice that the plugin offered the choice of searching the cover in Amazon or Google Images, or at least choosing some other image from the system (for example, I name the disc images with 'cover.jpg' so are not caught).
Comment 3 Steve 2008-05-28 18:19:35 UTC 
Just two comments to add to this:

1.  It would be nice if (like in Rhythmbox) you could drag/drop an image file onto  banshee for an album cover, or else right click and have an option to "Select Album cover" manually.  

2.  It would be also be handy if there was an option to "Fetch all album covers"

I'm using banshee-1-0.99.2.  Thanks for a great app!
