Cover bug when adding new edition
T

This happened to me a couple of times when adding a new edition of a book.
If I forget to add a book cover to the edition I'm adding manually, the cover of another edition gets automatically uploaded, which makes it impossible to upload the correct cover after saving.

Hello! That's not really a bug. It's more a side effect of the fact that we help users out with a cover of a related edition if one isn't added and we don't allow users to just change covers.
An improvement may be to allow the creator of the edition to have an editing window and/or to make the cover field more prominent.
Nadia But I've been adding covers for editions that didn't have them though? When I did the import of my GR library a few month ago, a lot of books didn't have covers, so I've been manually adding them. That's why I thought this was a bug 😅 Is this a recent thing?
tamara Hehe, so a user can add a missing cover, they just can't change one. Imagine users just continually changing covers to the one they want! (We will eventually have a better system for alternative covers on the same ISBN). I do think having an edit window if you just created the book makes sense though!
