Offer 'previous cover' button when selecting cover

[Pander]

Binary package hint: amarok

Please also offer 'previous cover' button when selecting a cover. Now if you click one time too much next while browsing, the only way to go to the previous cover is by starting over again. Implementing this feature will make selecting an appropriate cover much easier.

Yes, this is filed as bug in amarok at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98519 which itself is a duplicate of http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106115 .

I think a nice thumbnail view to select the cover from the ones which are available would be a much more user friendly interface then just previous/next buttons.

Thanks, your idea is indeed more usable, optionally with a horizontal scroll bar.

Also while browsing, the windows size varies by the image display, that makes the button locations changing as well. So it's difficult to navigate all those covers. I tried to use the "next" buttons hotkey (CTRL + n) but only to find out that the windows keeps losing its focus each time it's recreated. So the hotkey doesn't work unless I focus the window again and again... And the previous button is a good idea too...

I thinks this feature has a lot to offer but still lacks user friendliness...

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this feature request! Unfortunately, at this time Kubuntu does not have the developer manpower needed to implement and maintain many features at the Kubuntu level. This wish would best be reported and tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that it can be implemented by the KDE developers themselves. Once implemented in KDE, it will be included in Kubuntu once the KDE version the feature is implemented in reaches Kubuntu.

Thanks!
