Normal topicDatabase issue since 9.2

Hi Barry,

Using Yate v9.2.0.1 and I wanted to recreate my Albums and Tracks database via the Create Database Utility action v2.7. Long story short, ever since the following change in v9.2 :

Databases
Settings - Databases - Album and track database image source now has a .jpg File choice as opposed to folder.jpg.
When the setting is enabled, databases will now fetch images from folder.jpg or cover.jpg files.
The search priority is folder.jpg, folder.jpg (alternate case), cover.jpg, cover.jpg (alternate case).

The action creates the 2 csv and accompanying plist files, but Yate crashes when attempting to load either database. Removing the plist prevents Yate crashing but then the databases become standalone.

If I set Settings - Databases - Album and track database image source to none the databases (csv files with their plist) open fine with no crash.

All my artwork files are folder.jpg

Is it just an issue for me or can you replicate this?
Many thanks for any assistance.

It must be the image load code. I'll have a look this morning. Hange on to a db and plist file in case I need them

I'll do some more testing…
It just occurred to me that it may be due to a corrupt image file, because before Yate crashes I can briefly see the database file showing the artworks.

😳
I found the culprit.
"folder.JPG" triggers the crash.

Apologies for the disturbance!

Now that's weird. I'll have a look.

It was a really dumb bug. I had an 'i' as opposed to 'index'. folder.JPG should work correctly.

New build coming today.

Thanks for reporting this and doing the detective work.

I can't even explain how I got the extension in all caps, but I remembered updating some images very recently so looked for any anomalies in the recent changes I had made and this "JPG" jumped up. A wild guess, fixed the extension and BOOM! All working.

It still took me a while to get there, loading several different backups of my settings, rebooting my Mac, loading previous Yate versions, reloading the action, rebuilding the databases with different options, editing plist files, … and then I thought I'd give the release notes another read and it clicked!

😀

Thanks for fixing it.
