Today, I finally moved most of my systems to MC28. So far, everything works. Thank you very much
Under Windows, the upgrade was mostly pretty smooth. For my workstation, it was perfect. All settings and registration were kept, it just ran out-of-the-box. Great! Just for the HTPC, it didn't work that great. I had MC27 installed as the admin, and actually use it with another, unprivileged account (so my users can't easily destroy the system). When doing the install, MC28 doesn't pick up the library and other settings (and MC27 kept autostarting), most likely because the admin account doesn't have any of these. I had to do all of this manually. At least it kept the registration...
Under Linux, I had to manually move the library and thumbnails manually from MC27 to MC28 (/etc/user/.jriver/), redo all settings not stored in the library and manually register again (using up another restore). It worked, but no comparison to the Windows experience (although this is also flawed somewhat, see above).
Next thing I did was checking whether MC28 would address the issues I had seen in many views... And it did not. They are all still there.
The current main issue/glitch categories:
Cover Art is not correctly displayed in many instances (top/bottom or left/right is truncated when aspect ratio is relatively close to the box/frame designated for display) *Text is cut off without any indication that something is missing **Closing MC28 in e.g. Audio/Artists/Albums/ and then reopening it, restores the view, but clicking on the "Artist" part of the view tab is not working, the link is dead **
Therefore, I've now created this new topic under MC28 and link back to my original thread for MC27:

All issues are fixed now, as far as I can tell. Thanks to everybody involved, great customer service
* Solution: Tools --> Options --> Tree & View --> Thumbnails --> (deactivate) Standardize aspect ratios (
