Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/koel/koel/issues/380

Sorry if this is already asked, but didn't find with search. I have a large library and every folder has at least cover.jpg, folder.jpg or Cover.jpg. Some underground albums don't have covers at all from last.fm, so there's not any way to change them now.

Would it be possible to hover+point and click and change the cover from Koel UI or add/remove files from somewhere? Would be also cool for every scan for Koel to check if there's already a cover or folder jpg in the album directory or not, only if not, then try to fetch from Last.fm.

Is there any (undocumented) rule regarding the file name? Or is (cov|fold)er\.(jpe?g|png)/i already enough?

Windows used folder.jpg so that's why people are usually including it with their albums, but some other apps use cover.jpg and I think Bandcamp as well. That's unwritten "rule", yes, if that's what you mean. At this point I think that regexp is enough.

Implemented. If you're on master branch, remember to resync with artisan koel:sync --force --tags=cover (and make a backup!)
