Lost database thumbnail images in latest beta

[Bill Lott]

Just loaded the latest beta and I lost all the album and DVD covers. Getting an error message when I try to locate them thru the setup menu.

Anyone else seeing this???

Yes I know there are several bugs I noticed this myself last night, we rebuilt the whole database import and thumbnail systems so it is having some issues by just upgrading.

Same here. Deleted the cache folder and all came back except picture folder covers.
Deleted them again and several came back on refresh. Moused over the blank ones and they appeared.

Thanks for the update Wes - that's why they call 'em betas... Keep the enhancements and additions coming. It's fun watching this thing grow.

now i'm worried, i don't want to go thru losing all the images.
did everyone get all their images back again?

i usually do a full install anyway, never an upgrade so i think it will be fine

[Bill Lott]

Deleteting the cache and reloaded worked for me. Thanks for the tip.

[billberet]

took a little doing but all is well again.
had some issues with the default menu database, with the images, but everything is back to normal.
hopefully we don't have to do another upgrade like that again, i like the updates much better than a full install.
