Moving to MC32 from an Older Version

You should be able to manually backup and restore thumbnails with both MC29 and MC32 closed by going into the %APPDATA%\J River folder and going into the Media Center 29 folder, right clicking Thumbnails and selecting copy then go back to the J River folder and go into the Media Center 32 folder and paste the Thumbnails folder there.

OK, I shut down both 29 and 32 and then copied thumbnail folder from 29 (608MB) to 32 (840MB after copying).
Still no thumbnails?!
Next...
BTW, please refresh my memory on how to change the screen appearance from default white to something else, e.g., black.

If all else fails, you can use the tool to rebuild thumbnails assuming they're embedded in the media or are a folder.jpg in the same directory or something.

What is "the tool to rebuild thumbnails"?
How do you access "embedded in the media"?
"folder.jpg in the same directory or or something?
FWIW, I consider apps to be tools to be used without much thought or knowledge of how it was designed...sort of like a hammer.
That being said, I did a "BACK UP LIBRARY" including thumbnails and settings for v29 and determined the path to where backups are stored.
I then copied v29 backup into v32 folder.
VOILA!
Cursory inspection suggests that life is now good again!
Awesome Donkey:
You right click on files > Cover Art > Rebuild Thumbnail option. But again it'll depend on if the cover art is embedded in the files themselves or is an image file (e.g. folder.jpg) in the same directory as the media. There's options for those without an embedded cover or folder.jpg, Get From Internet menu option in the same Cover Art menu.
In MC32 I would recommend setting Thumbnails in library backups to Yes in MC's Options > Library & Folders > Behavior section. This will increase the time to create a library backup and increase the size of a library backup but all your thumbnails will be backed up for future use.
