Album artwork lost /corrupted

Post by jimlynch22 »

I added artwork by going into file properties > artwork tab > lookup images and selecting a file. After restart of MM, all the artwork is gone and the image file is shown as ".thm"

I'm running win7 64bit and MM 5.0.2.2519

What is your setting for Format for multiple images under Tools > Options > Tags & Playlists?

The default is $if(<Album>,<Album>,<Filename>).thm

Did you associate 1 Artwork or multiple when this happened?

one piece of artwork. I've been adding artwork back in and the <blank>.thm file has not reappeared and the artwork is staying in place, for now. Since I'm operating only on .wav files, this time around I choose the option "save to folder" rather than "save to tag, then folder". Maybe that helped. I have another isolated artwork issue, I'll post a new topic on that.

yeah but I'm not embedding. I'm putting a .thm file in the directory and it works, with some glitches. If the problem repeats, I'll repost on this topic., otherwise case closed for now, if that's OK.

Previous versions of MM contained bug, where artwork was sometimes not saved correctly for files not present in library. It was already fixed in build 2517, so I hope it won't appear again.
