[FEATURE_REQUEST] Select covers from Open Library for imported books

Open MichalSvatos opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I've just imported books from Goodreads CSV and all the books are without cover.

Describe the solution you'd like Possible solutions I can think of.

  • Option to "merge"/"link" local book to Open Library to fill missing information.
  • Add option to the popup menu - [Take photo of your cover], [Upload cover from storage], [Search Open Library for cover]
  • Choose a cover based on Open Library ID that user provides. Not super user friendly, but managable and better than hassling with many files.

Describe alternatives you've considered Alternative solutions (more like tedious workaround) is download covers from the internet and manually add them to every single book. Unless user have 3 books, it's not viable.

Thank you for considering this request.
