| Summary | 0021336: Auto-tag causes intermittent Artwork update failures | ||||
| Description | When changing existing artwork for multiple tracks using auto-tag or the Properties dialog, the artwork in the view and in the Properties dialog sometimes fails to update. This is a caching issue. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1 In Locations > Path to Album, Save common artwork to all tracks in a compilation album (file format is flac) 2 Select the album tracks and initiate auto-tag (no compilations) --> Tracks are separated into ~5 albums (correctly) and artwork is looked up 3 Click Tag --> Locations node displays only some of the albums with the updated artwork! 4 Right click a track that failed to update > Properties > Artwork --> It shows the 'old' artwork (which would appear to indicate that the tag update failed)! 5 Restart MM --> Both the Locations node and Properties show the new artwork for all tracks!! If this doesn't occur the first time, try again--it's inconsistent, and usually only some of the tracks fail to update. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| Fixed in build | 3077 | ||||

I've tested this further and it turns out that the bug isn't specific to Auto-tagging. It can even occur when using the Properties dialog to edit existing artwork. e.g. 1 In Locations > Path to Album, Save common artwork to all tracks in a compilation album (file format is flac) 2 Select the album tracks and initiate auto-tag (no compilations) --> Tracks are separated into ~5 albums (correctly) and artwork is looked up 3 Click Tag --> Locations node displays only some of the albums with the updated artwork (as previously documented) 4 Select all the tracks and edit the Properties > Artwork to a single image --> Location node displays only some of the albums with the updated artwork!! 5 Right click a track that failed to update > Properties > Artwork --> It shows the auto-tagged artwork (which would appear to indicate that the tag update failed)! 6 Restart MM --> Both the Locations node and Properties show the new artwork for all tracks!! |

It seems the main problem is caused by the fact, that auto-tag dialog is closed before all tracks are updated, it works for me if I leave dialog opened until all tracks are tagged. If I close dialog sooner, it often messes things up. So it still seems to be closely related to auto-tag dialog, I cannot reproduce problem using only Properties dialog. |

I suspect you're right. When I do artwork tagging via the Properties dialog or via the Preview window, this issue doesn't occur. In other words, I suspect that the occasion in which it failed via the Properties window (0021336:0077534) is related to the fact that I'd changed the artwork using auto-tag immediately prior to doing so using the Properties dialog. Note, though, that when I do these tagging tests, I always wait to perform a new artwork tagging operation until the 'Updating tags' message in the status bar has closed! So perhaps it's a problem that the messaging indicates that tags have been updated even before the operation has completed? |

Hopefully fixed in build 3075. Saving speed is now rapidly faster and after several adjustments I cannot reproduce problems more. |

This is still occurring consistently for me in build 3076, more often when multiple albums are being tagged with different art (e.g. when a single album is tagged with a single image, it's less likely to occur). Note though that when the bug does occur now, the album art doesn't appear on restart (this behavior changed in a recent build). |

Issue from video fixed in build 3077. It was related to the fact, that you did not scroll down and did not check the artwork. |

Verified 3077. |
