Pictures Disappearing.

Post by NoFiX »

After many, many cover-art downloads, it seems as though after I save the cat, I'll reload the cat and many of the pictures I just replaced won't show up? Like I never replaced them in the first place.

Is is just me? Or is this a well known bug?

That's not normal... if you can easily reproduce this bug with a specific file and/or a specific download it may be interresting...

lost pics

Post by Darkcold »

I just lost about 70-80% pictures from 350 movie db. My backups got shot too... when I found one being okay I copied and tried the copy but it was no good!?, reopening the original showed it just got shot too...

I noticed it while using the xlst template and first thought there was a script error because a lot of pictures were not being put out.. then back in Ant I noticed the pictures were gone there.

After trying my previous backup files more and more pictures seemed to got lost...

That's really strange :/
They were stored pictures or linked pictures ?

I think I can help on that one since I got that bug and founda work around
Basically, when importing data from a script (imdb with amazon pic in my case), the process create a file name linked to that movie. However if you add another movie straight after, that exact same name will be used.

Therefore you can end up with the same pic for a movie, or, if u rename the file, the correct pic for one movie and all of the sudden no pic for the others !
The work around i found was to, after each 'script import', to click on import picture, and rename the fiel just created to a unique name. ILet s also point out that sometimes the filename created is and will remain unique but in 70% of the time its a 3-4 short name which is then re-used

Hope this help
