I cannot reproduce your issue in any way. Can you give me detailed steps please ?

I would also point out that the log from the old thread linked in your post shows a issue that is not coming from the part of the code you tried to fix. It's 99% something skin related.

Sorry for my late reply. I overlook my own thread -.-
I have a large number of images (> 21k). When i switched fast through the folders this error very often happen.

The error messages can you see in the linked thread. The images are created by multiple threads and in the code all the threads access on the same temp created picture.

With the current version I have not tested it, I now create the folder-images themselves.

Sorry for my bad english.

Grüße
Kai

Ok, we analyzed your patch as I reproduced you error, patch itself can't be accepted in full because it leaves temp folder polluted but one hint from it help a lot:

           if (File.Exists(defaultBackground))
           {
-            [COLOR=Red]using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(defaultBackground, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite))[/COLOR]
+           [COLOR=Red] [COLOR=Green]using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(defaultBackground, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))[/COLOR][/COLOR]

this is (red part) a main 'cause of your exception, and also for thumbs not to be created. Green part (your idea) help us a lot but there is some other issue because thumb file sometimes with fast browsing between folders fail's to save and will not be created in current session (it's on blacklist). But it is created in next session.
I'm not fully satisfied with result but at least almost all thumbs will be there (in my case it failed in one so I restart MP and go again in that folder and it was there after).

You can try with this first part and see if it helps, but we need to investigate more why next exception occur. I will reject this patch (half of it to be clear enough), but that doesn't mean it fails, you help a lot and if you can, please investigate with your first change part and let us know how it goes and also you can provide us with new patch.

Zdravo,
the first line is not enough. I also need the second part of my patches.
I know that many files were created and not automatical deleted. We can insert a new line which deletes the files.

-                    string tmpFile = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), "folderpreview.jpg");
-                    if (File.Exists(tmpFile))
-                      FileDelete(tmpFile);
+                    string tmpFile = Path.GetTempFileName();
+                    //if (File.Exists(tmpFile))
+                    //  FileDelete(tmpFile); 
                     bmp.Save(tmpFile, Thumbs.ThumbCodecInfo, Thumbs.ThumbEncoderParams);
	      [B]File.Delete(tmpFile);[/B]

Yes, fair enough and right but delete tmp little bit down in

if (aThumbPath.ToLowerInvariant().Contains(@"folder.jpg"))
                    {
                      Picture.CreateThumbnail(tmpFile, aThumbPath, (int)Thumbs.ThumbLargeResolution,
                                              (int)Thumbs.ThumbLargeResolution, 0, false);
                      FileDelete(tmpFile);
                    }
                    else if (Picture.CreateThumbnail(tmpFile, aThumbPath, (int)Thumbs.ThumbResolution,
                                                     (int)Thumbs.ThumbResolution, 0, Thumbs.SpeedThumbsSmall))
                    {
                      aThumbPath = Util.Utils.ConvertToLargeCoverArt(aThumbPath);
                      Picture.CreateThumbnail(tmpFile, aThumbPath, (int)Thumbs.ThumbLargeResolution,
                                              (int)Thumbs.ThumbLargeResolution, 0, false);
                      FileDelete(tmpFile);
                    }

otherwise no thumb will be created in pic folder because we deleted tmp. Just to check it little bit more. First test goes 100% and no tmp left. Good work kaipron.

Can you test with your patch but with delete tmp in place from my previous post. In my case all goes ok now without any exception and all thumbs were in place, tmp folder clean. If all goes well I can put this in SVN for 1.1.1 so we do not not need to wait for 1.2.0 alpha

Fixed in SVN 26393 for 1.1.1 (26394 for 1.2.0 Alpha)
