Composer thumbnails? [#21940]

Post by doane2u »

MM Gold 2024.2.0
When I click on "Artists" under my "Music" as with "Albums," in the Grid view there are thumbnails of album covers for each listing.
I have all my Classical music in a folder, _Classical and everything else in a folder _Non-Classical under the Music folder.
When I select "Classical Music" in the main menu Grid view and "Composers" it shows a bunch of colored thumbnails in different colors with the composers name below them and a few of them show a random album cover for a composer, but not their images. The colored thumbs all have the first two letters of the composer name and their name below the thumb; the ones with an album image just have the composer name below the thumb.
Years ago I was using MusicBee and they had great thumbnails of every composer and artist, not just album covers for the thumbnails. Am I missing something in the MM setup... it seemed like I used to have thumbs in earlier versions?

I guess I figured it out. If I right click on one of the thumbs and choose "Lookup Image" it opens a window with a bunch to choose from, But you have to do it yourself, it's not automatic with the choice of changing one you don't like. I would be nice if they were already loaded like MusicBee did. Just a suggestion...

This may be due to: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=21940

Does a second viewing (or F5) of the same composer provide the Artwork?
