album artwork loaded from first file alphabetically

[josejuan05]

I don't know if this more properly belongs in a bug report or feature request, but I would like to propose a modification to album artwork selection. Currently Beatbox appears to load the first image file in the folder alphabetically. Many people store their cd artwork as 'folder.jpg' 'cover.jpg' 'album.jpg' or similar. In this case I have scanned the artwork for several albums and stored an image of the back of the jacket as 'back.jpg'. Beatbox then chooses 'back.jpg' as the image representing this album.

I propose that the album arwork be chosen first from one of the abovementioned names (e.g. (folder|cover|album).(jpg|png|tif)).

At first, I was concerned about potential speed decreases in the scanning process. However, I think this is worth it. I just need to figure out the best priorities for different names (which files to look for first).

I am thinking:

1. folder.*
2. cover.*
3. album.*
4. <album_name_here>.*

5. look for anything else

This looks like a good priority schedule. I'm looking forward to it!
