Description Manos PETRIDIS 2022-07-18 19:54:49 UTC
It seems that merge-from item local cover images are not merged to the merge-to entry. 
Is thie intentional or is it a bug? If intentinal there should be a warning to the user before the merge is performed, so that they may save the current images and re-locad them once the merging is complete.
Are the images left in limbo, or are they deleted from the db once the merge is complete?

I believe we could count this as a bug. I think the covers should be merged in, maybe with a warning only if  AllowMultipleCovers is off?
