| Summary | 0007052: Automatically generated/retrieved metadata shouldn't be stored to a temp folder | ||||
| Description | Thumbnails are automatically-generated metadata. As such, 1) it should be possible for users to see them, but it shouldn't be possible for users to: a) accidentally modify their tags with the thumbnails b) accidentally store it with their files/file structure 2) it would ideally be possible for users to modify their tags/file structure to include thumbnails, however, this functionality will be deferred until MM incorporates more automated metadata lookup functionality. It's proposed that the thumbnails should be stored to a central folder (that's OS appropriate) e.g. \AppData\Local\MediaMonkey\MetadataCache\Thumbnails There's no need for the cache location to be configurable. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

So, for now this involves mainly storing thumbnails in the suggested folder, not in Temp folder. |
|
|
Btw, currently we create only very small thumbnails. They seem to be ok for the AA view, but they contain very little details. I'd suggest to create significantly larger jpegs in \AppData\Local\MediaMonkey\MetadataCache\Thumbnails, and if necessary for performance reasons then also create smaller bmps in the temp folder. |

As discussed with Petr over IM, \Roaming\ might make more sense, since it's tied to the DB. In any case, it should be deleted by uninstaller. |

Verified 1341. |

After discussion with Petr, the final implementation is: - Big thumbnails (those generated at the size of the video) are stored in C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\Metadata Cache - Small thumbnails (used for AA views and Art Browser) are stored in MM temp folder together with covers cache |
