Not sure what the requirement is, but prior to 3.5.6.2.c I had art as moviename-fanart and and moviename-poster. If I check the movie preference to save art as fanart and poster instead, the existing art using the other name convention no longer is displayed in the browser. Seems like it should still be displayed?

Now that MC is not renaming my movie files, I am finding trouble with posters and fanart in tv-shows. I am running a new install of Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Each series has its own folder within a folder named tv-shows. There are no season folders. Episodes are named series-nxnn-hb-di.mp4. (handbrake-deinterlaced). It seems that when I first ran 3.562b that all the art that was there showed up, but even though all of the series have folder.jpg, fanart.jpg, season-all.tbn, season01.tbn, etc., only fanart.jpg is being displayed by 3.562c, but only for some series. I have "Both" selected in the General Preferences. If I select the Poster button it displays the current season*.tbn on the right, even though the Main Browser is not showing it. If I try to D/L a new poster from TVDb All by clicking that button then selecting the poster by clicking the radio button under it, then I get a box telling me something about cannot access folder.jpg because it is open by another process (almost certainly the process that is displaying it on the right). Then if I go to another window (like this one) to check something and I go back to MC, it is frozen waiting for me to type OK in the box, but the box is buried and does not show up on the Task Bar so I have to kill it using Task Manager. I tried to OCR the screenshot of the error message but HP Solution Center is hosed right now.
Any clues?

I think people should stick with one artwork method. Ideally, MC would have a 'cleanup' function that would allow the user to choose to delete the unused files - e.g. the files from the method not chosen. I'm moving everything to Frodo and really don't want to manually delete all the pre-Frodo files by hand.
I'm not an expert but I play one at work.

Please continue to support compatibility between Eden and later releases as long as possible. I have an AppleTV2 that I am not sure I can update because I never got it backed up.
I wish the way the art is tiled in "Main Browser" was user configurable because my TV folder.jpg's are almost all banners and I would like to see them in the banner location while using artwork = pre-frodo, but I also have some season*.jpg files that are banners. If I could specify where folder.jpg, fanart.jpg and season.tbn are displayed on the right screen in "Main Browser" if artwork=pre-frodo, then I could rationalize my filenaming in a pre-frodo setup. If artwork=frodo then the now hardcoded arrangement works with fanart and folder on top and banner beneath.
I agree that it is better to have uniquely named banners, posters, fanart, etc., but for those of us who have years old collections of thousands of movies and tv episodes, flexibility is a good thing. ARPANet/Internet got where it was in the '90s by following a philosophy of flexibility in accepting documents into programs.
As far as doing large scale renaming and deleting go, I have UNIX tools for Windows 7 installed and that gives very powerful scripting using ksh or csh.

Just registred at the MC CodePlex site and realized that it not only has an issue tracker but a discussion forum as well! Now, why would you keep 2 forums going? Why not lock this forum thread for new posts and only keep it to post info on new releases in 1st post containing a link to the CodePlex site? It would certainly make it easier to keep up with what's going on with MC!

This is to vbat99:
I keep trying to add a comment and attack a file to issue #932 or #924 (I believe) on codeplex, but when I click "Submit" I get a prompt about leaving or staying on page and I say stay and the "working" message stays up as long as overnight.
