You mean windows error/event log? i didn't find anything in there. Cover.jpg stays in the folder no problem. So does folder.png. Only the folder.jpg gets deleted, and only if changes are made to the entire album.
i cant reproduce any of the behaviour you describe using v3.1. ....... I dont think i will spend any more time on this
You really NEED {should} to address this issue as apparently nearly 1200 people are experiencing it is some fashion.
I'm not usually the diplomatic type, but that's probably not the best comment I've seen if you're expecting any help!Exactly! If you want help, don't be so demanding.
My Header menu can be set to either Folder or Grouping {which for me are the same} THIS is where I am viewing the wrong "Folder Art"
For the next v3.2 update i have added support for loading icons for: Grouping; Genre and Genre Category in the music explorer filter panel and header. The images should be square and at least 125px in size, but will be cropped to a circle in the header bar
As part of doing this, the custom Artwork location now defaults to:
- [root music folder]\MusicBee\Artwork\Artist Pictures
- [root music folder]\MusicBee\Artwork\Artist Pictures\Thumb
- [root music folder]\MusicBee\Artwork\Grouping Icons
- [root music folder]\MusicBee\Artwork\Soundtrack Pictures
There was support for genre icons in the thumb browser that used to look in [musicbee installation folder]\icons\Genre.
Those icons have been moved to:
- [root music folder]\MusicBee\Artwork\Grouping Icons
The artist and soundtrack folders are only reorganised if you are using default settings and will be reorganised automatically. You can still override the locations for artist pictures and soundtrack pictures in the Tags(1) preferences
Soo, almost 2 years and NO other responses to my query.Again, you're still coming on a little too strong to gain any respect here. Two years with no response pretty much means what you were told two years ago - the issue you're experiencing isn't being seen by others.

newest MB Version 3.2.6902, and the same shit is still going on.
Of nearly 20,000 .mp3 files separated into only 12 folders, which are also named as the 'Groups/ing' - I only have 12 'Folder.jpg' files which are the generic picture I WANT to use for describing all the contents of that folder/Group {Secular, Oldies, Christmas, Swing, Reggae ... and so on} inside each folder, each song has it's own artwork associated with that song. Whenever I edit a new or old mp3, THE FOLDER THEN TAKES ON THE JPG OF THE NEW MP3 AND DISREGARDS THE 'Folder.jpg' and it doesn't seem to make any difference if I edit the tag artwork with MB or with some other means - even if MB is not open and running.
I note you have MB set to save artwork as folder.jpg, so it will override the existing folder.jpg if you edit the artwork of any one track.Not sure he even needs to do an edit: won't that happen even if he just adds a new track?
I think ALL the "scroll bars" need to be wider
<element id="ScrollBarMargin">0</element>
<element id="ScrollPanelMargin">0</element>Do you really think people that are NOT experiencing the problem - ARE reading about the problem ???
1200 VIEWS of the problem... those are unique, not repeat views.
I've viewed this thread, but don't have the problem, does that make it 1199 people?OMG thread views are at 3389 now it's an epidemic MB is melting down everyone's artwork! ;D
Oh hang, on I saw someone else in this thread say they've never experienced it either, 1198...
WHEN I put a file named "Folder.jpg" in the folder - and it is a picture - THEN it automatically shows up in that "thumbnail browser column" - hence the "Album art" for that folder, not for any song that is not there.
When/IF I put a song in the folder AND edit it in MB THEN the thumbnail changes to that of the song and no longer that of the folder
If you have folder.jpg and only one mp3 file with an embedded artwork (which is different from folder.jpg) in a folder, then what picture does the folder show for you?
It's not because the thumbnail browser reads folder.jpg but as I said it simply shows the primary artwork of the first file in the folder.
If you have to use Folder, then you could place a dummy mp3 file with a folder picture embedded in each folder solely for displaying folder thumb. Then name the mp3 file properly so that it will be a first file in the folder by your usual sort by setting.
And as I said before if I use grouping, the EXACT opposite happens, I do see the "folder.jpg" for each folder, but then every song in that folder shows the "folder.jpg".
Yes, I understand you want to display an embedded art for each song while showing only one picture for each folder.
But that's not possible.
Because it always shows the primary artwork of the first file in the folder, if you change sort by column say from title to artist, then the folder picture changes to the new first file's.
Best option would be using Grouping instead of Folder as I suggested before. Then it shows a unique picture for each grouping item while showing embedded artwork for each song.

I look for the cover of the original singles (and have them as primary picture, without rotation).https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=28661.msg159499#msg159499 (https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=28661.msg159499#msg159499)
At the same time I would like to see the album cover in Music Explorer.
As far as I can see, that's impossible when all tracks have their own art.
The only thing I could think of up so far is:
having the album cover as primary picture in the first track.
(coz that seems to be the picture that shows up as album picture - temporary conclusion)
I would really rather that this issue just got fixed.
... but thumbnail browser's showing a first song's artwork is not a bug but a feature.
then we would NOT have to spend 5 years waiting for someone to figure it out...
but if you don't have anything else constructive to contribute, loosen up your panties and keep your consternations to yourself.
I have ALREADY named several Companies who I work with AND respond almost immediately to bug reports and such requests. And I'll name one other who has just contracted me, LYFT, for "User Interface Analyst", they of course do have a very large team of Programmers, so it's kinda like apples and oranges there.A great comparison that is. It's -exactly- apples and oranges. Not "kinda like apples and oranges." Lyft vs MusicBee. One is a company out to make as much money as they can, and the other is a guy sitting at his kitchen table fiddling around trying to make some users happy. And winning over thousands of users at the same time. Or is it 106,663 users because that's how many posts there are on the forum.
