Except Dear Reader it very much depends on WHERE your coverart came from.<br>
<br>
After pulling out my hair this sumarizes what I have uncovered:<br>
<br>
The EXIF data needs to have a 'Title' (field filled)<br>
An image may be used ONCE. To use the same image again make a new copy.<br>
The existing meta data may stop the image, needing Details -> Reset<br>
<br>
Jonathan on my fixes/31 you may 'press the image' or check [ok] both work.<br>
Roland see the images<br>
<a href="http://tigger.ws/downloads/myth3.png" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://tigger.ws/downloads/myth3.png</a><br>
then presss [ok]<br>
<a href="http://tigger.ws/downloads/myth2.png" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://tigger.ws/downloads/myth2.png</a><br>
<br>
but using an unused image with correct meta (exif) data<br>
