Describe the feature/enhancement

I like to have multiple different cover artworks for my books. I collect these from around the internet, but mostly /r/audiobookcovers. I would like to have them all uploaded into Audiobookshelf, and be able to switch which one is in use without having to reupload the file.

If you put them in the same folder as your audiobook then they will show up

You can have multiple here and switch between them.

Is that what you are looking for?

I have my library organized as a single folder of m4b files. I don't have a separate folder for each book. If I put a jpeg in that folder, wouldn't it either apply to the entire book or be ignored entirely? (I just tested, and it seems to be ignored).

Also I saw that uploaded covers are stored at /metadata/items/<book_id>/cover.jpg. Also changing this path to, for example, /cover2.jpg, correctly selects an alternate file. Would it be possible to include this same cover picker element for all photos in the books metadata directory?

Can you add cover priority? Like cover*.jpg,front*.jpg,cd*.jpg,back*.jpg,etc.

@springsunx If you click on one of the covers in the list, it will set that cover as the primary cover.

The most recently merged issue would be great when working with file structures containing a cover.jpg or cover.png file that should not be changed (e.g. if that file is synced with others using a file sharing service).
