Summary0007824: Delete files and playlist doesn't remove Art
DescriptionWhen you sync to a portable device with the option to sync all artwork to file folders enabled MediaMonkey will not remove those Artworks when on a subsequent sync the files get removed due to Delete files and playlists not included in the Auto-sync list from the device.

Tested with d_WMDM on 1375 on XP.
Steps To Reproduce1) Enable Sync all artwork to file folders
2) Sync some files
3) Enable Delete files and playlists not included in the Auto-sync list from the device
4) Sync another subset of files

Notice that art work created in step 2 is still present on device, files have been removed though.

1) With files in Album folder, both folder and image are removed now

2) It seems to neither update/remove the folder.jpg when syncing all files to a common folder (in between syncs settings have been changed back/forth between common folder and album folders). The same folder.jpg has remained in the root.

2) That's right, there are cases when external images aren't removed, but it's by design of this feature - we don't have any links to external album art files and so we don't know for sure what exactly does belong to a track. We could try to find and remove such files anyway, but it would be dangerous as we could remove something that wasn't supposed to be removed.

So, we do correctly remove album art files when it's a part of the album folder, but not in a generic case. Note, that the folder based album art approach is currently used by Android, Blackberry and probably many other devices, i.e. it should work correctly pretty much for everyone.

In that case fix has been verified in 1381.
