[Announce] improved cover/artist image handling for LMS

Interesting. So it will also be used by the scanner?

I see that the user would need to replace a file installed by LMS, and
would have to do so after any LMS update. Did you try to install it
inside your plugins' folder structure instead? I thought those folders
_might_ be prioritized. But I'm not 100%, tbh.

But what you could do instead of replacing an existing file, you could
put it inside the lib folder rather than CPAN. Haven't tried that yet.
But it would be an addition rather than a replacement, which might
survive updates.

That sounds interesting! Would you have a few example screenshots? (or
images...) Before and after?
