Is it possible to maintain the cover of a file during the importing process from Discogs?
Currently, it is possible to deselect the Discogs cover in the modal, but the original cover itself is removed from the file.
Thanks!

Hi and welcome,
I plan to add a _Merge_ option next to the normal _Save_ from Discogs.
This way, you could then deselect the Discogs cover and have the selected data of the Discogs result overwrite the existing fields — while preserving the rest of the original data (incl. the cover).

Hi Florian, this is **great** news, thanks for confirming.
I set up a couple of actions to export and re-import the covers in the meantime, but I'm certainly looking forward to have a _Merge_ feature!

The merge feature is now available with [Mp3tag for Mac 1.1.0](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/mp3tag-for-mac-v1-1-0-released/52539) 🙂

Thank you for the heads-up, Florian! I am waiting for the App Store to propagate the update. I can't wait!
