11. NEW: Updated image editor artwork.

I tried Image Editor and noticed two things:

- Help doesn't work.
- The rest of MC cannot be accessed if the editor is open. I had some music playing and the phone rang. I wasn't able to quickly change the playback volume. I had to cancel (or save) my unfinished work first.

The % value cannot be saved.

Please fix the bug where MC will not maximize when the display is in windowed mode (described in this thread: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=27963.msg194012#msg194012.

This only happens when the option to "minimize to system tray" is checked.

Burnt 3 audio CDs this morning and at the end of each one (all successful) my PC froze with 100% CPU usage for over 50secs after the new CD had been ejcted and before the "burn/print/quit" dialogue came up. Haven't burnt a CD for several builds now so I don't know how long this delay has been present - it always used to be about 20 secs for me.

Post only bugs you are certain about here.

Ok.  A variation of an old problem still exists:

The right-click menu is cancelled if the Actiion Window -> File Properties -> Image is active and you are viewing a view scheme and you right-click on an item in the top half of the Content window and that click requires the Image to be drawn (because it is new).

I'm viewing a view scheme that is by Artist (Group), Artist and Year-Album and have an Artist selected with 7 albums (in the far right pane).  Right-clicking on those albums always takes two clicks because the album cover art for each has to be drawn on each click.  This is just like the old problem noticed with other right-clicks and fixed a few releases back.  So, this type of right-click is still broke.

For MC 11, if you want both displays at once and want to minimize to the tray, hold shift while entering windowed mode.  For better or worse, the intended flow for most users is that the program is only in one mode at a time.

In Options > Playback
Clicking on the Help button brings up a "Page cannot be displayed" error.

... hold shift while entering windowed mode... 

This seems to be a useful, but undocumented feature. I checked the Help and couldn't find it. Windowed View is mentioned several times, but not this shift option. It could be added there.

[JaredH]

MC is either showing or writing the cover art to files incorrectly. It is shifting the art almost 5 pixels to the left on random albums. The only consistency I have noticed is that it is on all of the files in an album, not just one. However, it is not consistent to all albums.

i have this issue too

[paulr]

I was trying to convert some etree.org SHN files I had to APE.  MC begins the conversion process, but then just quits with no error message.  The files it "converted" had to be restored from the Recycle Bin because the APEs it created were corrupted (the APEs created using this process end up only being a few kilobytes in size).

[bytestar]

Now I am lucky mc11 owner

ich realy like to use my card reader to save mp3s for my phone/mp3player.
and i have noticed that i cannot select where it should copy (directory structure). and because of this all files allways get dumped into the "root" of the card in use.

is this feature planned ?
