1. The Quick Find doesn't find images in the cover art location specified in the options.
2. The Quick Find doesn't find images in the "artist - album" format like in the renamed file example.
3. The Quick Find doesn't find valid images like in the "jpgwers" file extension.

Resolution change quirk
« Reply #3 on: June 19, 2005, 10:19:27 am »

In Fullscreen mode, I set my resolution to 640x480x32 and the resolution toggles back to my desktop resolution when I use F11. However, if I'm playing a video in Fullscreen mode and I press the [X] at the top left of the window to close the window, the resolution stays at 640x480.

Looks great though, really exciting.

I thought there was a place for help items but couldn't find it. Anyways:

On the "Shuffle the Tracks" help page, it says:
Right click on Playing Now in the tree, and select "Reshuffle".
Right click on any song in the content-view of the "Playing Now" Playlist and select "Reshuffle".

It should be:
Right click on Playing Now in the tree, and select "Shuffle".
Right click on any song in the content-view of the "Playing Now" Playlist and select "Shuffle".

If I load the cover for many files (2000 and more), without cover over the mc picture function freezes mc sometime and can be only close over task manager.

The same happened also again with import from very many files.

I have set the new image handling method to add a folder.jpg for cover art.  If I copy and paste an image it works fine.  If I drag and drop from a browser it adds a link to a temp location rather than adding the image as a folder.jpg.  Not a huge thng but an inconsistency none the less...
