Some strange behavior I have noticed.
May be bugs or may be intentional. Here it is.
Import Settings
When backing up a library from a portable install, import settings are not included. So when restoring a library from a portable install, all import settings will be default.
But.
If you restore a regular install’s library to a portable install, import setting are there. If you then backup this library it will contain import settings but only those from the regular install. Changes done during portable use will not be there.
Artist and Series Art
Portable installs won’t use Artist or Series art if located on the same drive as the portable install. An exception to this is if a regular that already points the art is restored to a portable install. Note that only existing art will be used and any new art added won’t show up.
I requested a couple times that import settings be included in library backups but it appears that the feature has always been there. I just had MC setup in such a way that it didn’t work.
