Rhythmbox: Coverart-Plugin should have Option "Local Covers only"

[John Doe]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

There should be an option to change the behavior of the Coverart Plugin. It should be possible to configure it to not search the Internet (Amazon) for covers, and use only local folder.jpg's (or any other name).

Thank you for your bug, that's an upstream one

What I usually do is find ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/covers and set its permissions to "access files" only.
I realize it probably still downloads the covers, just doesnt save them, but I'm rarely missing a "folder.jpg", so it only does that in extreme situations.
So if you're just trying to prevent it from downloading it accidentally (maybe in the time it takes for you to put a better-looking, bigger cover in the album directory), it works quite good.
