Explanation of the album art loading/updating #27

Description

@reyaz006

Small issue I saw after trying out this theme:
When selecting different tracks from the same album, the app triggers art update. I see a momentary "LOADING" before the art is updated. This looks a bit awkward considering this is the same album and therefore all files from it should have the same art.

Note:

  • None of the audio files contain embedded art.
  • I already selected a setting to prefer external files in foobar2000 advanced options.
  • I group files by path. 1 folder = 1 album art = 1 album in the playlist.
  • It seems to get triggered when selecting files with certain different ID3 tags (e.g. Artist, Genre), though I haven't experimented enough to verify which exact tag does this. It's just my expectation that unless the file belongs to a different album, selecting it should not trigger an art update.

I'm not sure if this behavior comes from the app itself or from the theme. The original app just doesn't have the "LOADING" screen and I can't see if it tries to update the art when I do the same.
