For unknown types baloo-widgets (responsible for infopanel/tooltips) falls back to `value.toString()`, no idea what will happen when you feed it with binary data. The cover properties return binary data, right? The cover is binary data, right. And I think I was wrong. While I don't fully understand yet how baloo-widgets work, from what I've read all available properties are automatically queried. The binary data would then be converted to a string as you said. So adding the cover this way may not be a good solution. A different interface should be created for image/binary data. I think I will split this into two diffs and do the cover images separately.
