Summary0017630: Properties: Editing linked artwork causes failed artwork updates (linked and tagged)
DescriptionIf the user adds/edits linked album art for a track in an album that is in a directory with other tracks from their own albums, then it causes:
- album art edits for linked artowork to stop working (edits/deletions often fail)
- album art additions for tagged artwork to appear as 'unsaved images' even after they should have been saved (and because they don't have a 'Save' button, they cannot subsequently be saved).

To replicate:
1 Navigate to a directory with 10 tracks from 10 different albums
2 Select one tracks from an album
3 Right-click > Properties > Artwork > Lookup image, select an image and press OK, and 'Save to folder' and click OK
4 Repeat step 3 a second time with a second image
5 Check 'Apply to all selected tracks / all tracks on the album/series' and Click OK in the Properties dialog to commit the changes
6 Right-click > Properties > Artwork
--> Chances are that the artwork doesn't appear as expected (if it does try deleting an image / adding an image until the changes don't appear as expected)!
7 Navigate to a directory with 10 tracks from a single album and select all the tracks
8 Right-click > Properties > Artwork > Lookup image, select an image and press OK, and 'Save to tag and folder if not possible' and click OK
9 Right-click > Properties > Artwork
--> Image appears as 'Unsaved image' and there's no way to save it as only a 'Delete' icon appears! (artwork labels / buttons should appear as described at 0017633)

This seems to be already fixed in 2320 by other related fixes, please retest.

This is occurring similarly to the previous description i.e.

issue 1: tagging of a single track from a single album that is in a folder with multiple other single tracks from single albums, with multiple linked images
--> failure of one of the images to save correctly

issue 2: once issue 1 occurs, artwork fails to save all the time, even when attempting to tag artwork (the original issue of the missing 'Save' button didn't occur though--tags just failed to save)

Tested 2321 and issue 2 in which saving artwork to a tag stops working is still occurring despite the fact that issue 1 seems resolved. i.e.
1 Navigate to a directory with 10 tracks from 10 different albums
2 Select one tracks from an album
3 Right-click > Properties > Artwork > Lookup image, select an image and press OK, and 'Save to folder' and click OK
4 Repeat step 3 two more times
5 Check 'Apply to all selected tracks / all tracks on the album/series' and Click OK in the Properties dialog to commit the changes
6 Right-click > Properties > Artwork
--> Artwork appears as expected
7 Select the track and Right-click > Properties > Artwork > and delete all three images and press OK
8 Right-click > Properties > Artwork
--> Images update as expected
9 Select the track and Right-click > Properties > Artwork , and select the auto-looked up image and 'Save' and then choose to save it to the tag if possible. Click OK and commit the change.
10 Select the track and Right-click > Properties > Artwork
--> Image appears as 'Unsaved image'! And subsequent attempts to save the image to a tag fail!

p.s. Note that performing step 9-10 _prior_ to all the other steps --> Album art is successfully saved to the tag. i.e. the failure at step 10 is somehow related to the steps performed beforehand.

Tested 2322. The bug still occurs using the same repro steps as in build 2321 :-(

Note: the video also demonstrates that once the bug occurs:
- Tagging of auto-looked up artwork on another album fails, but succeeds if the auto-looked up image is first deleted
- Tagging of any kind of artwork to the track that experienced the bug fails

Fixed in build 2323. It was timing issue harder to reproduce on my PC.

Tested 2323 and the issue is still occurring though slightly differently and not as badly. After following the repro steps:
- Saving artwork to a tag --> label indicates 300x300 (xKB), but nothing about where it's saved to (previous builds showed the image as unsaved)
- Tagging of auto-looked up artwork on another album fails in the same manner as above (previous builds showed the image as unsaved)
- Tagging of any kind of artwork to the track that experienced the bug seems to work now except that images saved to a tag aren't labelled correctly as indicated above.
- The only way to get MediaMonkey out of this state (in which saving images to a tag doesn't label it as such) is to restart it.

Verified 2324. MM no longer seems to get in a state where artwork tagging fails.
