I was hopeful that this build would address the audio cover art problems that have been reported.  I can no longer store cover art inside files. 

This was my post from .299:

After much frustration with adding and viewing cover art images, I tested the function with each option for an album of 11 files:




I've always stored cover art inside the files and now thumbs are only being created for a small number of my 25,000 files..

7. Fixed: Switching between tabs in the Library Browser would result in "randomly" selected files.

another strange problem that really made me go nuts and didnt find an explaination to it:
i have an album of 21 tracks, and every time i click on its files shourtcut in the library browser albums section i get into the files but with track 19 selected which does not show me the top of the list... i dunno why it makes the file selection in the first place !!!!

well this fixes MC behavior in randomly selecting files.. but after I tested the fix with the same album selection, MC didnt select any file inside the album but is the album files tab mc shows tracks from track #2 in the top

There Maybe A Bug In the SDK When Renaming Files In The SDK

When You Use A Long File Name MC11 Comes Back And Askes You To Rename the File, Along With A Sugestion (Part Of The Orginal File, First 8 Chrs)

46-11-22.mp3

If you Click On OK, MC Saves The File To The Root Folder C:\, And Not On The Orginal Drive And That Was F:

Shelly,
We'll fix this.  You can count on it.  Thanks for your work in documenting it.

There is no option to select/de-select all when ripping a cd?

Thanks

BUG !?

Creating a new folder with 8 to 11 letters on a new (Data-) CD makes MC crash. Longer and shorter Filenames working fine. Also the name "New Folder" works.

I get following (windows) error Message (I translated it):
"Media Center has recognized a problem and must be closed."
Problemsignatur:
AppName: media center.exe    AppVer: 11.0.301.0    ModName: media center.exe
ModVer: 11.0.301.0    Offset: 00050357

I've encountered this error for the past three builds, including .301

When I attempt to rename a directory manually, using "Edit Selected Item" through "Drives & Devices", I always get an application error.

"The Instruction at "0x0000000e" references memory at "0x0000000e".  The memory could not be read.

Using "Rename Files from Properties" allows me to rename the directories without the error, but it's a bit more cumbersome doing it that way.
