Folder for Album Art and other images

[Abrimaal]

Poweramp keeps all images in the application data.

These images (album covers, artist photos, playlist covers) take a few GB in the internal storage.

Cover images are duplicated, when we add a compilation by various artists.

Currently only the folder AlbumArt contains 1769 files, each of them 100 kB to 1 MB.

Could it be this way?

The user creates a folder on the SD card for images. (I use two folders: AlbumArt and PlaylistArt).

The user takes care of the filenames of these images, to contain at least the album name (artist name if this is a photo of a musician).

Poweramp searches for images first in this folder, if no results, then online.

Image files are not copied to the application data (and anywhere to the internal storage).

Poweramp saves not existing images to the user defined folder. It may be the same folder with user images or a different one.

Example (in app settings)

Image folders:  (expands the same list, as music folder selector)

Save downloaded images to: (folder selector).

@maxmp It would make sense for users to be able to set their own  defined folder location for cached cover images - especially now that Android is starting to restrict user access to the Android/data heiarchy.
