0.3 beta Album Art ability to read all pictures in FLAC tags

I recently started employing the"Artwork View" panel, as opposed to foo_uie_albumart and was very happy to see how easily it read the artwork out of the FLAC tags.

I only have one request and that is the ability to read all the artwork and not just front, back, and CD,  as is evinced from from inside (via Preferences->Columns UI->Artwork);  I know those configuration options do not directly correspond to reading embedded artwork, but I think this could possibly illustrate some of the logic behind the panel.

For instance, I'm using FLAC's specifications found here for --picture to use types 0(inlay artwork), 3(front), 4(back), 5(inside/booklet), and 6(cd), however all that are shown are 3,4, and 6.

Any consideration that could be given to this, such that one could view all embedded pictures would be greatly appreciated.

The Core's API only defines these types: Front cover; Back cover; Picture of a disc or other storage media; Album-specific icon. You can query one image of each type.

So, support for additional types needs to be added to the Core/input plugins before it can be added to the panel. Not sure if you wanted it, but I'm not sure how a complete multi-page booklet would fit into all of this.

It would be cool to be able to have it cycle through the different album images during playback.

Thank you for the response;  If I understand you correctly, it sounds like the FB2K devs. need to address this issue first.

For what it's worth, I've not scanned in the entire booklet, just the first page of it, which is what I call the inside (the page most visible behind the cover art), so I'm not advocating scanning in multiple pages of album art, which I think would be quite a feat.
