Re: [Banshee-List] Problem building 1.5 from source

[Gilbert Mendoza <gmendoza gmail com>]

Andrew.... he and others have had trouble with recent builds of
Banshee not displaying cover art from the main windows album list.
Basically in the list of albums... all the embedded artwork remains
unextracted until you double click on the album.  I've been noticing
the same behavior on multiple machines, and have even noticed
inconsistencies with the way various artist covers sometimes are not
displayed at all.

While I still use Banshee and refer to it as one of my very favorite
FOSS projects, I have to say cover art is pretty important to me too,
and it would be a shame if the issues weren't resolved in up and
coming builds.  I'd love to help give you any assistance gathering
data you need for troubleshooting.  If there's a bug report you'd like
me to append info to, let me know which one is appropriate.
