I notice that on the posted config file there is something odd with the cover buffer path: BufferCoverPath=E:\eXtreme Movie Manager\\TempDir\buffercover.jpg
there is a double backslash in front of \\TempDir. I have the same thing in my config file and that might explain why the file isn't copied to the right location.
I see that when I open the database in Access a filename for the cover is added, but the actual file is not copied. (this is on my work pc)
On my home PC the system does seem to add pictures to the movies but the files don't get a descriptive filename. I added American gangster and Moonwalker and both showed the same sets of covers all named _1.jpg _2.jpg _3.jpg etc. In older versions that didn't happen.
I am running XP SP2 on both PC's I've tried.
I'll try the new version next. I liked the idea of having an ini file rather than registry but I guess we can live without it ;)
I have tried the new version and on my work PC I just cannot add pictures at all. I suspect it has to do with permissions on the computer. I have full admin access and run the program with admin access but somehow XMM just doesn't copy images to the right folder and they don't turn up in the directory with Covers. (regardless of the location of the database and the file permissions that I set). On my home PC I don't seem to have this problem (both XP SP2)
Okay. I've now updated to 6.2.2.0 at home too and there everything seems to work okay. With version 6.2.1.0 I can actually add pictures but as I wrote above, all pictures are linked to all movies (pics named _1.jpg etc...)
I think the issue must have something to do with file permissions on my work computer although I have set full admin privileges to XMM and full open access to the location of the database. I am running trial versions on all these computers, but I doubt that has anything to do with it.
I just noticed that when I try to add a picture to a movie on my work PC I see an error message on the status bar of XMM saying: "53-File not found" I selected the file from after clicking "Add a cover Manually in first place", so I know the file I want to add exists.
No pics stored
