Manual upload of cover picture

[imclint21]

Hi,

For some bookmarks I would be able to upload a custom image when the automatic fetching does not works.

hey @imclint21 , I can give this a try :)

[imclint21]

would be awesome!

the way the images are stored is quite inconsistent , make it difficult to work with :)
made a workaround for have a "random" placeholder if it was unable to fetch images from the provided URL ,
lemme know if I can go ahead and raise a PR :)

[imclint21]

I would recommend to use https://place-hold.it/ or something neutral for default image,

Also i'm not maintainer of this project :D

@fmartingr , lemme know what to do :D

Unsure what the ask is here. It is uploading thumbnails or it is having placeholders for bookmarks without thumbnails? (I'm against placeholders)

@imclint21 As a workaround, you can put an image into the $SHIORI_DIR/thumb folder named after the ID of the bookmark. That is, if you upload an image file named 44 in that folder it should show up as thumbnail. This may change recently if we normalize data in the database but should work as of today.

You can edit all the metadata of any bookmark why not let the possibility to upload a custom thumb like I can edit the title?

I'm sure @mayur1377 can handle it quickly, just need to upload the new image in $SHIORI_DIR/thumb as you said.

Any news on this @fmartingr @mayur1377? :D

I like Shiori but it looks bad without thumbs haha

That would be awesome. It's the only thing that's missing for me.

[imclint21]

I agree and it will give more consistence, all can be edited excepting cover, while automatic cover downloader can don't do his job.

This is a low priority for me at the moment, more so considering that the workaround of putting the files manually in the data directory can be used.
