Bug ID: 457175
Summary: Elisa priorities Cover image file instead of embedded
cover
Product: Elisa
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: matthieu_gall...@yahoo.fr
Reporter: indecisiveautoma...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I am running elisa-git from the AUR, version 22.11.70.
Elisa will prioritize a cover image file over an embedded cover for a song. If
a song has an embedded cover but is in a folder with a "cover.jpg", that file
will take priority over any embedded cover. I'm not sure if this is intended
behaviour but the inverse case seems more expected to me: Using a cover image
file as a fallback and checking for embedded cover art first.
In my case, I have a messy music library, and I rely on music players to sort
my collection for me. My music folder is very disorganised and I have a bunch
of albums and singles in one big folder, correctly tagged and with embedded
album art. One album happened to come with a "cover.png" and now all albums in
that folder use the "cover.png" even when they have embedded cover art of their
own.
if this is intended behaviour, maybe there could be a setting for a user to
decide whether "cover.png" type files should be prioritized or whether they are
a fallback if no cover art is found.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a song with embedded cover art into a folder
2. Add an image called "cover.png" or "cover.jpg" into this folder
3. Add this music folder to Elisa's music library
4. That song will use the "cover.png" file instead of its embedded art
OBSERVED RESULT
Elisa uses a cover image file over embedded cover art.
EXPECTED RESULT
Elisa should use the embedded cover art when available and only use a cover
image file as a fallback.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.18.14-zen1-1-zen
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0
Qt Version: 5.15.5
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Probably not applicable to the latest stable Elisa, as I believe there were
various fixes related to reading embedded cover art that are currently only in
development builds of Elisa (such as Bug 418800), but I could be wrong :-)
