"artwork storage" setting for devices is glitched in Preferences

[RavenWorks]

1. Attach a device.
2. Go to Edit Preferences > Devices > Portable Device > Configure > Settings.
3. Under "artwork storage", select "embed artwork in the music file", then click Save.
4. Click Configure > Settings again. The embed setting is correct so far.
5. Select "copy to folder.jpg", then click Save.
6. Click Configure > Settings again. It has been set to "do not copy artwork".

Hi Ravenworks, re your bug reports it would help others to diagnose them if you would post what version number of MusicBee you are using.  And it's always a good idea to update to the latest version (3.2) first to see if it fixes things, which you can find here:

https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=24754.msg146154#msg146154

And then by the applying the latest patch, updated almost daily, which for MusicBee 3.2 is here:

For issues specific to portable devices, it might be better starting in the "Portable Devices" forum just under this one.

Ahh, sorry about that, I installed it just the other day so I assumed I was still recent (I'm on 3.1.6590 apparently)...

OK, I'm now on 3.2.6728, patched on the link you gave, and the bug is still happening.

I am not able to reproduce this. What type of device is it?

[RavenWorks]

Pixel 2

[Steven]

Looking at the code I see no reason for this to occur and dont recall anyone else reporting this, so i will leave this unsolved as I cant reproduce any issues

[RavenWorks]

Is there any kind of log or preferences file that I could send to show what state it's winding up in, or something?

[Steven]

if you send me a link to your settings file (help/ support/ view settings) i will have a quick look

[RavenWorks]

Aha! In the process of trying to see how it affected the settings file, I realised a step I was missing -- this bug only happens if the device is currently connected!

[Steven]

In that case the device is indicating it doesnt support artwork files. I guess i can change it to ignore that status

unzip and replace the existing musicbee files

you might want to double check the folder.jpg files are actually created and viewable on the device

[RavenWorks]

Replaced the files, the bug still happens. Preference gets reset in Preferences > Devices, but as long as it's set in the Portable Device tab (rather than in the preferences), the copy works fine -- the folder.jpg shows up on my device as it should.

[Steven]

The bug is with your device not reporting the artwork support status correctly. I find it hard to believe the new version doesnt work but in any case i will leave it unsolved.
