Art Browser with Details Displaying Back Cover, not Front

Post by waypointwatchman »

I notified this fault on the forum on 1st July 2014, under the title 'Artwork forgets it's given order'. I was given a multitude of suggestions to help correct what I believe is a bug, but all went quiet on the subject after 11th August of that year. After trying all suggestions (gratefully received) :) and failing to rectify it, nothing more came forward from experts on this forum to help rectify a fault which certainly did not exist on earlier versions of MM. I have entered music as new entries in the library following all the guidelines and still find that after a given search using full or part artist or track name, it's usually the first album at the head of the list that appears under 'Art & Details' view that is the culprit, (not always, sometimes there are various). It's the search that surrenders the fault, not viewing the lists directly from the music directory, because by clicking on the artist title of any of the albums displayed by search, in the new list that same culprit usually correctly shows its front and not incorrectly showing other art on the tag, (I find that it's not only the back but sometimes any other art in a random manner). I don't know whether this provides a clue to the fault or not, but to date none of the updates of MM seem to have addressed this now long-standing problem. Developers please note. Also we still have 'MM not responding' regularly or hanging. Sorry to say so, but MM is less stable than it was. :( :-?

Good day Lowlander,
Sorry for the late reply, (personal affairs), in answer to your question, I am running version 4.1.11.1783. I always update when there is a new version, and yes my library is maintained with complete optimization checked. I've just started up MM and the last album played comes up on screen with an image of the disc and not the front of the album. Basically as usual. I can't seem to bottom the problem.

I've also noticed this before. I haven't looked at the situation lately because I typically don't use the Art view.
But it does seem to occur for no "apparent" reason.
