GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 603911
Add cover art for an album directly from the Internet via Drag-and-Drop
Last modified: 2020-03-17 08:16:09 UTC
When I try to drag album art into Banshee from a webpage (using Chrome) Banshee gives me a warning: [Warn 12:46:23.949] New cover art file not found: http://www.anthemrecordsinc.com/products/sufjan-stevens-avalanche-cover-screen.jpg and nothing happens. It would be pretty neat if this would work. Dragging the cover art from the webpage to my desktop, dragging again from the desktop to Banshee, and deleting the image from the desktop has too many steps.
It doesn't work with Firefox either.
Should be pretty simple, especially if you reuse the SaveHttpStream method(s) from src/Core/Banshee.Services/Banshee.Metadata/MetadataServiceJob.cs Michael, feel like tackling this? The trickiest part would be not blocking the UI thread to do this. You can use ThreadAssist.SpawnFromMain (delegate { SaveHttpStream (..) }); to make it pretty easy.
No need to put [wishlist] in the title - the Enhancement severity signals that.
The http/save related methods from MetadataServiceJob.cs could/should probably be moved to/merged with src/Core/Banshee.Services/Banshee.Web/HttpRequest.cs - looks like there's some duplicate functionality there.
(In reply to comment #2) > Michael, feel like tackling this? I'd like to look at this, and it would definitely be a good challenge for my C# skills. That said, if anyone else was interested in working on this, don't be deterred. My free time has gone down quite a bit and will stay that way for the rest of the holidays, so I'm certainly not putting an exclusive "claim" on this bug.

Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/264 for more info.
