All releases of CoverViewer
Release Notes: Lyrics retrieval functions have been fixed and improved. KDE folder icons can be created by pressing "i" on the desired cover. For now, this function needs ImageMagick's "convert".
Release Notes: Some memory leaks were cleaned. The software was merge with the "Lyrc" project, so there is now a lyrics mode. Lyrics are automatically retrieved from a server if available, and they can be edited or uploaded if they are not available.
Release Notes: This version featured some speedups in image loading and a few new options and management features. MP3 tags are now read using id3lib, which increased stability, and annoying crashes were fixed. The scripts for cover retrieving were improved: Amazon was corrected and a new site (Coveralia) was added.
Release Notes: This release mainly has a few bugfixes and some speed improvements when dealing with big images. Images are now searched in both the "album" and "covers" directory, instead of just one at a time.
Release Notes: This release can auto-hide itself if no cover is available (instead of displaying the "default" image). The "Manage covers" option should appear in the menu more often than in pre1. When using "Cover Management", the size of the images now appears in the main window.
Release Notes: A "Cover Management" feature, which is accessible from the right-click menu, is now provided to easily add and delete covers while playing. An information window was added to explain what is going on while downloading covers. A new search site has been added (www.coveralia.com) and another one (www.cdcover.nl) was removed since it now needs a username and password. The "skin mode" now features a button for opening files (Eject button).
Release Notes: This version includes "smart-search" functions. This means that sources that lack metadata (such as shoutcast streams or MP3s without ID3 tags) can also get covers by guessing the missing information from the filename and freedb. The covers-search script was greatly improved with new sources and more patterns taken into account. The window can now be attached to the XMMS windows.
Release Notes: This version fixes a bug which prevented compilation on SuSE. The window can now be snapped to XMMS windows.
Release Notes: This version has a bugfix in Internet searches (lock files were not always deleted) There is a show/hide XMMS command in the right-click menu. The "smartsearch" function now also tries to guess info from the filename when there is nothing in tags (in development).
Release Notes: This version adds new "smartsearch" functions, which allows users to get covers for streams and for files without knowing the full information. It now creates some lockfiles to avoid looking for the same cover over and over. Two new sites have been added for cover searching, cdcover.nl and amazon.fr. There are also a few minor enhancements and bugfixes.
