CD cover copy & paste?

Post by ramble-bumble »

Hi,
maybe it has been just a temporary bug, but yesterday in MMW5 I was not able to add a cover just by copying the image somewhere and enter it via the (right click) context menu, "paste" was gray.
Instead, I had to use the search function, which however did not deliver satisfying results.
Is that old feature from MMW4 no longer available?

Where is the Artwork being copied from and which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey?

You can try to Drag & Drop the Artwork on the Properties > Artwork tab in MediaMonkey.

Mainly Amazon, or Discogs etc., via right click "copy image"

You describe better than I did as non native speaker: That's the place where I am facing the problem, could not paste the copied artwork there, option "paste" in the context menu was gray...

Sorry, I meant what application is the Artwork copied from.

I understand that Paste is greyed out, but did Drag & Drop also fail? Related: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=16626

Are you using 5.0.1.2433 or 5.0.2.2501?

Good morning!
Weird, but yesterday evening all of the sudden copy&paste worked again.
Nevertheless, owing to your reference to the recent subject, I also will have a look on my version and will run an update if necessary.
Thanks a lot for the support!
