Hi,
displaying the covers is a nice feature but IMHO it could be implemented better. 1) I've some sampler cds here that are all correctly tagged, e.g. artist is the real artist and not "various" or something of that kind. But now I have to find a cover for any artist/album combination of that cd, because in "amarok/albumcovers" they are saved using "artist_-_album.png". I thought amaroK would first look for an image in the album's folder having a name containing "front". Well, the cover wasn't found, maybe it's case-sensitive? It had "Front" in its name. In some folders the cover images contain "[Cc]over" in their name. Would it be possible make this configureable? As the cover image hadn't been found I searched for it using amaroK's feature. I finally found the cover image and it got saved. While another song of this cd got played I saw that the cover has "disapeared" because of the above mentioned reason Wouldn't it be possible/better to store those downloaded in the album's folder? 2) Cover Manager This one displays all covers it knows about when it opens up. This takes a long time and is IMHO not needed. I think it would be better to show no covers or those of the first artist's albums. Another reason for this is that you usually can't figure out what cover-less album is shown as you only get the album's truncated title shown. Maybe at least a tooltip could show artist and album (not truncated). Does the Cover Manager only display cover images located in "amarok/albumcovers"? I just recognized that in "Context" view an album had an image, but not in Cover Manager... 3) Fetch Cover I really can't find out how this should work Sometimes it finds the correct cover at once, sometimes it only finds the correct cover after I modified the search text and sometimes it only finds incorrect images. Is there always one find result or why isn't there a list of found covers so that the user can find the correct cover? 4) "Context" view This is one of my favourites But: no context menu for covers. I'd suggest to put the same one as in the Cover Manager. I also miss a simple feature to only play songs of the current album's songs or any other album of that artist or all songs by the artist. 5) How do I change a song's score? 6) "Collection" view "Delete from disc" in album's/song's context menu. 7) View/Edit Meta Information Label in front of the song's file name reads wrong in German translation: "Ort (Stadt/Land)" Should be simply "Ort" I guess. OK, I think that's enough for today and I hope to get any comments on that topics Keep on improving this great piece of software! Regards, Andreas |
