[QUOTE="Guzzi, post: 791631, member: 55213"] [b]AW: #myfilms.groupcoverimage[/b] Hi mattroby, It is configurable and setting can be found on artwork tab, "Thumbs for Group Views", Group Views Pictures Path. If you used the setup wizard, it is set to ....\thumbs\MyFilms\GroupViewImages. You can set the path to any other location you want - for configs with central DB and multi user config for example usually have all those pathes set to a network location - thus only one location is required to ever update for multiple clients. See also wiki page "[URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/My_Films/3_Using_My_Films/Group_Views_and_Images"]Group Views and Images[/URL]". You can use both jpg and png Yes, MyFilms uses it's own thumb caching for performance reasons - the cached images e.g. for category are stored in ...\Thumbs\MyFilms\Thumbs\MyFilms_Groups\category\ (just for info, you don't need to do anything there). You can delete/reset the cache in the same place in setup where you configure the path (see above) by pressing the button "Reset Thumbs". This will delete the cached thumbs and MyFilms will recreate them next time you start that view. You can add your custom thumbs to any other views, like year, country, etc. the same way. As you noticed, clearing the cache is only required, if you REPLACE existing images with new ones - so if you once remove all existing and clear the cache, you can add your own images step by step without requiring "Reset Thumbs" each time. Newly added images will be cached as soon as they are added on first use. No, don't need logs/config unless it is not working as expected ;-) Looking into setup I admit, it is not very clear - as tooltip says "remove all generated thumbs" - so users might be scared, their original images to be removed. I have updated the tooltip for better understanding for next release. Guzzi [/QUOTE]
