I can confirm that folder settings aren't remembered. Added as: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=8961

I can report that the preview display bug has been fixed in 1464 :D
However the issue of MM not remembering/updating the folder locations for both VirtualCD & Previews remains.
Create a new preview & virtualcd directories and use the browse for folder icon - select new folders - which will than update the locations correctly.
Hit OK to close options window - close MM
Restart MM and the folder locations were as before eg the old values - so MM is not updating the ini file for those attributes :(

Running on Vista 32 with MM 4.0.3.1464 (portable) as administrator

Thank you :D

It should be fixed in build 1464 when it's available:

Further info for the devs:
I have just manually edited my ini file to point to the correct/new preview and Virtual CD folders.
Opened MM4 and the directories were shown correctly in options/Virtual CD and Previews.
Closed MM - restarted and still shown correctly so MM4 is not rewriting the directories names - its just not updating that part of the ini file on close :-?
Unfortunately it is still showing most of my library in the preview node :(

[quote="Lowlander"]Selecting the Previews node (in Entire Library Collection) does load a large subset (~1/3) of my files in the Filelisting[/quote]
I thought I would just check and I was a bit out :roll:
Entire library 74484 files (OK I was exaggerating a bit on the 80k :) )
Previews 73702 files :(
That included 660 video files and 1 internet radio station :o
I would love to know how it was going to create a preview of that :lol:

Selecting the Previews node (in Entire Library Collection) does load a large subset (~1/3) of my files in the Filelisting despite that I have never created previews.

:) PM sent with link

Can you send me your Portable folder, please ? i've tried and cannot reproduce.

Yet another problem(s) to report
I was asked if I could make a "guess that tune" cd and I remembered about the preview function in MM.
So I set up the preview settings in options/virtual cd and preview and the first thing I noticed is that the directory was defaulting to:-
C:\Users\Me\AppData\[b]Local[/b]\MediaMonkey\Previews\ eg my MM3 directory :o
As I am now on a portable install I find this puzzling to say the least.

So I created new directories for preview and virtual cd (something else I have never used before) in my portable location (c:\Mediamonkey) and tested by creating previews of 10 tracks.
Sure enough MM4 created the wma snippets in the new directory np.
OK now to test so I selected the preview node and to my horror my whole library now appeared in the main window!! All 80k tracks
These were all the original files and the funny thing was that the previews I had just created were not among them (easy to find because all my music files are mp3's)
The Preview node had listed below it about 20 artists - only one of which were in the previews I created. :-?
I then used the library maintain option to clear preview entries blah blah
Checked again and I now appeared to be down to about 9 artists in the sub-nodes but the main window was still showing all of the library?
I then checked the MM3 Previews directory (eg: local\MediaMonkey\Previews) in case there was garbage there and the directory was empty.
So I re-started MM4 - checked again - still the same :(
I then noticed that the directories for both Virtual CD & Previews had reverted back to the old appdata\Local settings as before eg they hadn't saved.
And before anyone asks yes MM4 had closed correctly.
I have optimised library (full) - re-installed and it makes no difference - I am afraid I am nearly at the end of my tether :evil:
Further info the database was initially created using MM4 RC1 so it isnt an upgrade bug.

PS I did manage to create my cd - I just used MM3 which worked fine - so much for progress :roll:
