Covers not showing

@maitro-de-obra Does it show when you play a song?
What is shown if you right click and select edit tags?

Does it show when you play a song?

Only on the albums with a "thumbs.db" file. It fails to detect the "folder" image file on albums without the thumbs.db file.

What is shown if you right click and select edit tags?

Do you mean "edit track information"? It doesn't show any cover, if I try to load it from disk and click "save" a loading icon will appear but nothing will happen. This is on macOS Catalina by the way.

UPDATE: It seems that .jpg covers can't be loaded, if I change them to .png format they load fine when I right click and "Load cover from disk...".

What macOS version do you run? What version did you install? (bigsur, cataline or mojave) Did you overwrite existing version when asked?
JPG support is plugin based while PNG is not, there might be a problem loading the plugin.
But there is also some special handling for JPG in the new version.
Can you share a JPG file that does not load, or send it to me on e-mail?
However all covers loads fine for me, and my entire collection has JPG files.

@jonas I'm using 10.15.14 Catalina. I just downloaded 0.8.5.1 and it works perfectly now, must be the new handling of JPG's.

@maitro-de-obra
Then please share one of your JPEG files that didn't work with 0.9.1.
There are many formats for JPEG, so it might be related to some specific properties on the JPEG file.

There you go. Could it be related to Catalina?

@maitro-de-obra
The file loads fine here both on Linux and and macOS catalina.
Tested both in the cover manager and in the edit tag dialog.
It loads when the song plays and in the collection thumbnails.
It might have to do with the mac restricting permission to the files for strawberry,
0.8.5 was Qt 5, while 0.9.1 uses Qt 6 so there might be some change in Qt that makes it restrict permission.
Try giving strawberry full disk access, in system preferences / security & privacy / full disk access.

@jonas I'm having this same issue of covers not showing. I'm running Catalina 10.15.6 and just downloaded 0.9.1 (first time user)
I gave Strawberry full disc permission. I did a search for covers and afterwards only a handful of the images work. have some of the album covers on my drive and they aren't loading either. Love this music player so far. Thanks!

I've found the problem, it's a plugin issue. The paths in the libraries aren't set correctly for plugins.
Working on a fix now.

@jonas great to hear, thanks.

Can you try the latest from https://builds.strawberrymusicplayer.org/macos/ and see if it works now?

Installed the latest one, some of them showed up. Did a full collection scan and every single one of them shows up perfectly.

@jonas Sorry for the delayed response. Just downloaded the newest Catalina version and the covers are all showing up. Fun! Thanks a ton!!
