Hello Rainer,
Are you trying to migrate the
artist artworks?
I regularly synchronise two MB installs on different computers, without a hitch. So I'm trying to guess what the problem might be, since two small tests in my version (portable, latest 3.5 build) give correct results.
FYI, the artist artworks are stored in
two folders:
Folder nr. 1 = Artist artwork, original (JPG files), contained in a path ending with: Artist Pictures\Thumb (*)
Folder nr. 2 = Artist artwork, thumbs (PNG files), in a path ending with: InternalCache\ArtistThumbs (*)
All the .PNG files in nr. 2 are generated by MusicBee from the .JPG in nr. 1.
(*) See this post for the correct locations in the installed vs. portable version:
https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=36875.0Try the following:
* Check if the folder path for your .PNG files is correct.
* Migrate the .JPG files, too.
* Check if your configuration points to the correct .JPG location,
in
Preferences->Tags(1)->artwork->artist pictures location (must be the path of folder nr. 2 without "\Thumb" at the end)
* Perform the refresh action referenced in
Preferences->Hotkeys->General: Refresh ([F5] in my configuration) when, say, the active selection is on the concerned artist in some panel.
Should nothing above do the trick, it would remain a riddle to me...
Just in case: migrating the portable version is much easier than with the installed version, since with the portable you just have to copy ONE folder tree. But be strict: a mere extra space in any folder name and its content won't be found.
These are the small tests I carried out in my version:
(a) * closing MB
* removing the .JPG file for some artist but changing the .PNG file
* reopening MB
(b) * closing MB
* changing both the .JPG and .PNG file for some artist
* reopening MB
In both tests, the artist artwork was automatically updated in my version.
