Description:
 The built in Amarok Cover Manager only allows
fetching from amazon.com, which may be fine if
your music collection largely consists of popular
music. But if large parts of your music collection
are vinyl rips or releases on underground labels,
searching discogs.com will yield much better
results.
This script allows fetching album cover art for
the currently playing track from discogs.com by
clicking onto any track in the playlist and
selecting:
"Fetch covers from Discogs" -> "for currently
playing track"
Already existing local album art (image files from
the currently playing track's folder) as well as
relevant album art from Discogs.com can then be
browsed / saved / deleted.

Keyboard Shortcuts:
The GUI can completely be used through keyboard
interaction.
Show CoverFetcher Tab: Alt+C
Show Log Tab: Alt+L
Save image: Alt+S
Delete image: Alt+D
Show next image: Alt+RightArrow
Show previous image: Alt+LeftArrow
(Un)fit cover to window: Alt+Z
Quit: Alt+F4 / Escape

Bugs:
o Stopping the script from Amarok won't work! This
means every time you start Amarok another instance
of the script will be created and not closed
again. Sending SIGTERM only works from the
console. Help for this bug would be appreciated!
o Marking text in the Log window will cause new
logs to be inserted at the marked position

If you find more bugs or have a fix for existing
ones please write me an email!
