I would put these in the build post but since some are features, I'll make a separate topic:
Let's say I have the Playlists menu open and am nested in a few child items. If I close the Playlists tree by clicking the Playlists down arrow, if I open up Playlists again, the tree has been collapsed again and I have to work my way down the tree again to find out where I was. I have Auto Expand turned off. The tree should be remembered when opening the Playlists again.

There is no way to find out what size cover images are to determine if you want to find better ones elsewhere. It would be nice to have the File Size and Dimensions displayed just as if the image was imported and you were looking at that by itself. Right now if you hover over the cover art you get a tooltip of the filename. In the simplest solution, add a second line of the tooltip with this information like: 300x298 - 17.5KB. Another solution is to add a header or footer in the Image window with the information of the image name and dimensions.

In the Library & Folders Options for Fix broken links, there is Yes and Yes (leave network files). What exactly does the leave network files mean?

It would be nice if the Help button like in Options actually opened Help for that page. Trying to dig through the help for the page you're asking for help on is really difficult. But I'm sure that will come as in most programming, documentation is last. ;)

Perhaps this question was missed because somebody has to know the answer:

All my media is on a network server so I'm not sure if I should be selecting Yes or Yes (leave network files). Is it just concerning UNC filenames, all network files regardless, or something else?

I was wondering about this myself.

Bump. Even though the issues are still issues in 90, it would be nice to know how to use this one network files option.

Searching on this topic because I'm curious too.
I turned auto-import off because when my network went down MC12 deleted all the networked attached files from the library (it takes about a day to import them all).
If I turn this to Yes (Leave network Files) I am hoping that it will leave network files in place if the connection disappears, but still update networked files if they have external changes (tag change, etc).
Do I have this right?
Thanks,
Graham

Yes, that's right.

I actually had hoped that not being able to connect to a network share due to a network outage for instance is much different to detecting a file is missing. I was surprised and found out the hard way about this also. All my media is hosted on a server centrally so the "Yes (leave network files)" option doesn't really work for me.
