martin 2026-05-15 16:44 developer ~0081133	Deleting an existing albumart.jpg could currently cause problems with tracks that have this artwork indirectly assigned (via the Android library). We can optionally add deletion as a manual option in 0019005. Anyway, thanks to the support for per-track artwork #0022040, problems with incorrectly assigned tracks should no longer occur.
