Place cover art for multi-disc albums in common parent directory

[Julf]

Even if a custom "paths:" configuration that includes $disc is used to handle multi-disc albums, cover art only gets placed in the first disc directory.

It is not an easy case to handle well, as each source directory might have it's own cover art.

In my case, the cover is placed in the last directory. I have a compilation with 11 CDs, my path contains CD 1, CD 2… CD 11. The cover ends up in the CD 9 directory (the last one in alphabetical order). Most of the softwares I use are looking inside the folder where the first song is only (CD 1), hence never find the cover.

An option to customize the cover path would be nice.

I agree with the option to customize at least the default cover.jpg path, for example:

paths:
  default_artwork: $albumpath

As a general comment I would propose handling of the artwork to be done the Kodi way => Music Artwork
But this might be a feature for a plugin such as fetchart.

I just would like to give the idea of placing the cover art in the main folder with symlinks in the underline folders.
