I updated to v2.8, and the web import scripts fail when trying to save the cover images. The error is:
IrfanView Jpeg Save Error! - Can't open file for writing c:\eXtreme Movie Manager 1.1\covers\NAME.jpg
It is not using the proper 'Program files\eXtreme Movie Manager\covers' directory. I never installed directly into c:, so I don't think it is a problem on my side.
Ok, I just found the setting in the configuration... It reverted to the default after installation. But, it's strange that this default is not the same as the one offered by the setup.
