Having performed some additional testing I have come to believe that usually koha displays local images for only the books that Amazon returns images for, plus one local image per page, of a book that Amazon doesn't return an image for. I have noted exceptions to the rule above, but they always refer to specific books, that for some reason unknown so far, do not "count" in the "one local image per page" rule. In the pages that these specific books appear, we have two local images for books that Amazon doesn't return images for.
You may see the behaviour I'm trying to describe, in two videos I've uploaded to YouTube: http://youtu.be/cwK5vB0e9XA and http://youtu.be/RC7NVshyKew Please note in the second video, how all available local images appear as the page loads, only to disappear once the page has finished loading, bar one.

Then, local covers disappear for those books that no Amazon cover is returned. regards, Manos Petridis ----- Original Message ----- > From: Manos Petridis <egpetri...@yahoo.com> > To: "koha@lists.katipo.co.nz" <koha@lists.katipo.co.nz> > Cc: > Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2012 3:16 AM > Subject: [Koha] Note on three suspected bugs > > > I'd like to note/report some somewhat irregular behaviour I noticed on > my koha installation (3.08.03.000 on Debian). > > a) Search result pages seem to disregrad settings set in "System > preferences".
