I cannot reproduce this so far.

• What do you exactly mean by "the perspective Albums have no picture" : no album at all or only albums without cover (the default CD case icon) ? With current option you use, you should see all the albums, even those without covers.
• Do you have albums in the Albums table in the same perspective (the other tab at the top of the perspective) ? or in others perspectives ?
• Did it happen only once or even after a jajuk restart ?
• Were your devices available when the problem occurred ?

Thanks

First, I am using the french language [in case this info is useful]. in the Albums perspective only default CD case icons are showing, not any illustration or cover, although the picture covers are visible in the individual window "cover". I have my full list of albums in the Albums table. In the other perspectives the covers are visible. It is continuous as I have tried to restore the views of all perspectives and there is no change. I don't understand about which devices you mean. As above mentioned it happened after upgrading.

Thanks for your answers and help - I love this program, it's Great.

I don't understand about which devices you mean. As above mentioned it happened after upgrading.

Jajuk only consider music located into devices you created like a directory on your hard disk, a CDROM, an USB drive ... You should have create at least a single device with the localization of your music at the very first launch of jajuk (see [1] for more about devices). What I mean is that when upgrading to new jajuk version, for some internal reasons, jajuk had to reset thumbs and to build them back by reading the covers from the devices (image files among music files). If during the migration the device was not present (located in an external USB drive or a network drive for instance), it may explain your issue. What do you think ? was your device still available ?

Can you check the device is available, then try to go to "Perspective Configuration" -> "Vue Préférences" ->onglet "Interface graphique" -> Click on "Preference de la vue catalogue" and click on "Reconstruire les vignettes"[2] ? and tell us if you see your thumbs again ?

[1] http://jajuk.info/index.php/Using_devices [2] In English langpack : "Configuration perspective" -> Preferences -> GUI tab -> "Catalog View preferences" -> click on "Rebuild thumbs" button.

the device showing is my directory "Music", and this is the only one ever used. I did what you suggested : "reconstruire les vignettes" and there is no action, so nothing changed and we still see only empty cd boxes. But the individual view of album cover shows the cover playing.

Well... strange. What you call "Individual view of album" is the Covers view (frame whose title is "Pochettes" in French), right ? If so, when it displays a cover, please look at the letter displayed alonf with the cover size : (L) means local cover, (@) means cover found online and (T) means cover found inside the audio files. If you can see covers, it may be because jajuk find them online (by it is unlikely that you have no cover at all).

Few things you can do :

• Try to play with the cover type combo at the bottom of the catalog view (it contains three items : "Afficher tous les albums","Afficher les albums avec couverture","Afficher les albums sans couvertures" ) and tell us if it changes something. According to your logs, you should use the "Afficher tous les albums" so you should see albums with covers.
• Do again the Rebuild thumbs operation I described before and send us the logs like you did when creating this ticket, it may contain errors.
• Try to play with the "Selectionner une pochette" feature by selecting a random album in the catalog view -> right click and tell us what happen.

Yes "Individual view of album" is the frame "Pochettes". Most of the codes are (T), some (L) and few (@). . playing with the 3 options make no change. I am using "Afficher tous les albums" . I did rebuild thumb and attach the debug note. . I did the right click in the catalog view on random album covers:

• I can see different cover in "Selectionner une pochette" if I click on one, nothing show in the general main window.
• in details view: no picture.

All right, I think I caught it. This issue is actually very easy to reproduce once under windows. Working under Gnu/Linux, it wasn't able to reproduce because the problem comes from a Windows limitation not found under Linux (see [1]).

I checked-in a fix that will be available in 13 aug daily build, 1.9RC6 and 1.9 final. This is a severe issue, we will try to publish 1.9RC6 with this fix ASAP (tomorrow if possible).

I close this ticket, feel free to reopen if you still get this issue.

[1] : the problem was that we used FileLock? to synchronize main jajuk process and thumb maker background process and we used the shared mode in our code. However windows only supports the exclusive mode, see [2] for more. The fix is to set file locks against temporary thumbs lock, not thumb files themselves.
