Comment 14 for bug 661459

Hi Daniel,
I generally like yours and Max's new design in the library layout bug (especially the conbined autodj/library view) and I will soon make some comments in lp:986704 when I take a closer look at the mockup.

But, as I see it, there are 4 different bugs/wishlists:
1) cover art in library when navigating through table tracks (this bug, the attached patch partially solves it)
2) cover art in spinny (bug lp:890421)
3) cover art in treeview (like clementine) -- relates to library layout redesign or implementing clementine view as in your branch
4) navigating through cover view -- relates to library layout redesign

The patch in this bug doesn't store covers.
It scales and generates them on the fly, after searching the directory of selected track. I don't think it's too CPU intensive.

I understand the need to have a more organized and global cover policy, but I also believe that the library redesign will be a difficult task and will take time.

So I propose removing this bug from the 3-column blueprint and see if we can improve this patch and commit.

As for the clementine branch, the build fails(something with avcodec related) and I would like to give me some help for building this branch. Are you on IRC with a different nickname than daschuer or should I contact you with email?
