I don't know the exact name of the file.
But the idea is this:
Unpin the icon u used before (the shortcut to your previous installation of MM)
find the executable of the version u use now (should be inside your mm folder )
make a shortcut and pin it to the taskbar.

Unpin the mediamonkey icon.
Find the debug version MediaMonkey_Debug.exe file.
Pin it to the taskbar.
This file does not exist.

That seems rather strange.
If I pointed you to that topic, it was so that you could make a debuglog.
Which would help the developers to understand what's going on.
Yes, I know that this was not what you intended. I should have made my statement more ironic. Sorry that I have to confuse you, but that is how it is.

Is there any other possibility to make a debug log?

yes it's normal. MediaMonkey_Debug.exe and Mediamonkey are two different files.
Unpin the mediamonkey icon.
Find the debug version MediaMonkey_Debug.exe file.
Pin it to the taskbar.

I wonder why you have the bug happening only with the normal version and not the debug one.

Awesome! Installing the debug version fixes the bug. Is it OK, if I run the debug version all the time now?
Also, there is a new small bug which exists with the debug version but not with the normal one: In Windows 7 when I have the MediaMonkey icon in the taskbar and then open MediaMonkey a second MediaMonkey icon will pop up. Usually the shortcut icon just highlights. What is the reason behind this?

The Minimise / Maximise Bug

by YellowSoul » Sun Sep 26, 2010 10:30 am

What happens?

When I minimise MediaMonkey and then maximise it again by clicking on the taskbar button, an error message like this shows up:
Image
When I click away the error message the top right corner changes it appearance a little:

The minimise button is changed for a maximise button and I am unable to maximise MediaMonkey by any means. Clicking the maximise button results in MediaMonkey becoming a little tray in the bottom left corner of the screen:
Image
Then, the only way to fix the bug is closing MediaMonkey using the Windows task manager and restarting it.

How to reproduce it:

- enable "album art with details" mode
- rightclick on the cover of an album which has the artwork saved in an external file / in external files
- choose "Edit album art properties"
- remove all album arts
- confirm to delete files as well
- minimise and maximise MediaMonkey

Tests I have done:

- bug occurs on both of my systems
- bug occurs with plugins and scripts deactivated
- precise error message varies
- bug will always occur

Anyone has an idea on how to fix this bug? Does it only occur to me?
