Describe the feature you'd like

PLEASE. Now, this may seem strange; let me explain. In the cards at the moment, it will fetch whatever it feels is the appropriate image for this case, which can sometimes result in an incorrect favicon, site image, or just strange picks. Refreshing does nothing; it pulls the same image. So for this, I'd like an option to add my own screenshots or images to the header. Some examples of what I wish it to be can be found attached below.

Image Image

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

Allows users to have more control over their karakeep instance and actually improve or get better contextual clues on an existing item, rather than a low pixel image, or just the site's favicon (see attached images for reference)

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Nope

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

This looks like it can already be completed by going into the item and using the wrong icon to uncollapse the section. This seems like it can be changed or renamed. I'll leave this open, as the UX feels off since it took me so long to find it. It may also just be my fault. To give context, I'd expect it to be in the edit section or something that indicates editing, as it being placed under a small dropdown in a popup when you select an item is odd or off to me.

it's not a common operation so didn't spend much time optimizing its UX. I guess, I'll leave it as is for now unless there are a clear indication that a lot of people are struggling to find it.
