[ADDED 3.5Beta] Artist artwork manager

[Mr. Trev]

I think it'd be helpful if was possible to use the existing album artwork manager to also manage artist images

[Mayibongwe]

I would totally make use of this.

There is now a tool for managing artist thumbs
Tools/ Artwork/ Artist Thumb Manager

Fantastic!

I hate to be that guy, but… is there a way to change the default search from Google to DuckDuckGo (Bing)? Surprisingly, I find Bing gives much better results.

How do I search for artwork while in the artist thumb manager? What am I missing?

I just right clicked on the right side of the editor just like album artwork.
Not sure why it's greyed out for you, but I also don't have an image rotation option either

you are looking at the Album Artwork Manager, not the Artist Thumb Manager

I'll be another one of those guys. For the same reason. Bing and/or DDG are much better than Google.

Right click the blank column to the left of where you're clicking - the one with the "artwork (selected tracks)" header

I see, cheers

By the way, It's a bit confusing how that works in the "Album artwork manager"

- when I invoke "search internet for picture" in the "Artwork [Selected Track]" column, it searches on google for pictures of that Artist (??)
- when I invoke "search internet for picture" in the Artwork panel it bring up the familiar artwork search dialog that pulls ablum art from fanart.tv, itunes etc

Was this always the case? I haven't used the artwork manager that much before

EDIT

Now it brings up the artwork search dialog in both instances. I somehow managed to make it bug out before

Seems like it happens if I have the Artist thumb manager open and then open the Album artwork manager without closing the Artist thumb manager first, or the other way round
