In this case, can you modify AAD a bit, so that a single click on the Floppy Icon can Save an Album Cover without closing AAD window (allowing to add more Cover variants for the same album), but a double click on the Cover in search results will Close AAD?
Interesting idea. I'm not sure how intuitive that would be, but if I can think of a good way of presenting it, it might make it in to a future version.

And what are the naming rules for saving several Covers for the same Album to show them all in foobar2000 when the Album is placed in a Playlist?
There aren't any, really. I've had a long-standing idea of using a preset system so you can click a dropper arrow next to the save button to save as things like "album name - front" and "- back" and so on, but haven't got round to it yet.

When an Album Cover is saved by AAD, called from foobar2000 via Run service, why that Cover is not updated right away in the Playlist window, and also other foobar windows
I guess because they have no way of knowing to look for new art files, and don't constantly refresh themselves. Not much I can do about that, but you shouldn't have to restart foobar, the art panels should have some sort of refresh command. If they don't, try asking them for one. If an art display panel had an integrated "run cover fetching tool" command that could run an external tool, then update itself once that tool exited, then you could use AAD for that. Just pass the
/separateInstance command line arg so that it doesn't re-use an existing instance, and only exits when you close it.

Can you add a Prefs Option or a Link next to each Cover in search results to open the Cover source page in a default web browser?
No. That information is not provided by the sources, and I have no intention of re-writing all of them to provide it.

While AAD Interface is clearly designed, some functionality may need clarification for novices. Is there any Help, Readme or FAQ file about AAD anywere?
There's the
wiki page, I guess. But no, there is no proper documentation for it, and I agree that there should be. That doesn't mean that I intend to write any any time soon, but if anyone else fancies putting some together, I'll certainly integrate it.

Processor load is very high, when searching for Covers in local PC folders with AAD File Browser. Can it be optimized a bit for that operation?
I'll look into it, but could you check if you find the same issue with using pattern matching as ID3 tag matching? It would be useful to know how much of it is due to the MediaInfo tag reading. Mostly, the file browser searching is optimised for speed, so I would expect a high processor load while it is working.

Can you add some skinning, or at least Interface color matching options to AAD, f.e. to auto or manually match its window color scheme & element appearance with current foobar2000 skin color scheme?
Automatic colour matching to foobar is never going to happen. A colour scheme 'skin' file could be a possibility, though. Any actual skin would need to be a xaml file, and would be closer to development than skinning, but if there is any real interest in this, it might be doable. If anyone is interested in designing xaml skins, the best way to start would be to grab the source off the
public SVN and modify the xaml files there.
