           Summary: Regression: Recent cover manager changes introduced
                    completely broken behavior
           Product: juk
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: wheeler kde org
        ReportedBy: thomasmg web de


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

The recent changes to the cover manager made it unusable for me, basically because 1 album == 1 cover is \
no longer true. Reasons:

1. 
Downloading a cover for an album no longer works as expected.
Let's say I have an album which contains 10 songs.
Previously, I was able to select one of those songs, use "RMB->Cover Manager->Get Cover from Internet", \
select the proper cover and was done with it. All songs from that album now had the correct cover set, \
which additionally was only stored once on disk.

Now, if I try the same, only the selected song gets the cover assigned. The other songs from the same \
album remained without any cover. This behavior alone is annoying, but it gets worse:
After selecting all songs from that album and then downloading the correct cover, only the first song of \
the selected 10 songs gets the cover assigned.

This means I know have to invoke the cover downloader 10 times in order to assign the correct cover to \
all songs. Previously I was done with using it once.

2. 
The above behavior also means the covers take up much more disk space. Let's say the average album \
contains 10 songs, then 10 times more disk space is used now. It is simply unacceptable big, my  cover \
directory is now 55 MB instead of 30 MB. The many duplicates are not nessacarry.

3.
The newly introduced "Show cover manager" dialog also suffers from the duplicate covers.
Instead of showing one cover per album for every artist, it shows one cover per song for every artist. \
This is not usefull.

----

4.
Why is there an OK button in the cover from internet download dialog ?
The cover is immediately downloaded when clicked onto, there seems to be no need for the OK button.

5.
I know this is unrelated to the recent changes, but when I remove 1 cover, I get this question:
"Are you sure you want to delete these covers?"
In this case, "these covers" should be "this cover".
