Feature Request - cover browse in the "Fetch Metadata from server" function

nathander13 · 01-30-2010, 01:55 PM

It would be very helpful to me if you could see the associated covers in the "fetch metadata from server" function.

Sometimes when I look up a book I have like 10+ options. I select the best one, but the cover associated with it is missing or from a different edition etc. Sometimes there are multiple covers associated and one has better art etc, but its just a crapshoot when you go to download the cover and it takes several attempts to find the correct cover.

There are obviously workarounds. I can go online, do a google search and then download exactly the cover I want, but that is an extra time consuming step. If I could select exactly the cover I want when I'm selecting the metadata it would save me a lot of time. Maybe have two check boxes, one next to the metadata I want, and the other next to the cover I want?

Thanks for listening and keep up the good work!
