For nothing? Or for only some things? How is the album art stored for your music? as standalone image files in the album folders, embedded into the individual music filed, both, or a mix of them?

It is always embedded into the individual files
Strange, 22.08 was supposed to fix this, and it's working for me. Are you using the fast native indexer, or the filesystem crawler indexer?

Ok, thanks for the info. Unfortunately I don't know what it could be caused by.
Ok, Well thanks anyways
Hit this bug. All albums have no covers in the "browser" part. Header bar and playlist panel show album cover images perfectly. That was really strange as previously I was testing elisa on another Linux distro (Debian 12) and the player worked really great. Now on Gentoo, with @world update not so long ago (few days). I never had experience with Qt before so forgive me my blatant method. But I fixed the problem by getting rid of CoverImage component in GridBrowserDelegate.qml. Instead, I just used ImageWithFallback directly. And the problem was solved. I can test more appropriate solution if anyone would suggest another way to fix. It is always reproducible.

My patch is not a fix. It's a workaround. From what I understand if a folder contains several albums (for example a folder is all albums for an artist), then a cover image for this folder should look like for quarter images. My change breaks it, the folder now shows only one image. But for me (and those who is suffering from the same bug) it's a way to display at least something.
