Summary0018991: Consider moving thumbnails out of temporary directory
DescriptionSolving with user from ticket # 4046 the image cache for thumbnails shown in MM is currently (by default)
\appdata\Local\Temp\Thumbs\

But apps like "Webroot's System Optimizer" regularly deletes the files from Temp/Thumbs
i.e. user ran Webroot's System Optimizer and could see it deleting the files under ...Temp...thumbs.
After it finished and he switched MM5 to an album view => most images were gone.

Possible solution:
Move the thumbs out of temp directory, e.g. to AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey5\
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build2617

Regarding WebRoot It is known application that have problems.

I was in contact with them few years back and they have "Media Monkey" section to disable in their optimizer.

Personally I would prefer Solution A as that way we will have controll over thumbs and have ability to clean them when needed.

Fixed in 5.0.3.2617

i.e. Thumbs folder is now in the app data folder (no longer in the temp dir)

Done as DB upgrade 5.0.61, mostly won't be noticable though as renaming the directory on the same drive is a fraction of a second (like '.\Portable\Temp\Thumbs' -> '.\Portable\Thumbs\', '%APPDATA%\Local\Temp\Thumbs' --> '%APPDATA%\Roaming\MediaMonkey5\Thumbs')
