Folder Icon Custumization

[jaedonswanson]

Idea

A plugin that changes folder icon to an enclosed .jpg file.

Description

Beets does a great job organizing libraries, but browsing the directory without using beet list -QUERY can be a bit tedious since all folders have the same icon. This plug in would search folders for art fetched using the fetchart plugin, and then set that art at the folder icon.

Beyond the albums, a modification of the fetchart plugin could fetch artist profile images so that way the local folders were more visually appealing to browse.

Caveats

I'm aware a lot of users have large directories and never/rarely go looking through their files manually. Admittedly, beet list does a great job of finding files very quickly. I know you can change icons on MacOS, not sure about other systems. I am also not really sure where to start with this since I don't have much of a background in programing, but just throwing this idea into the ether for now.
