BUG: MP4/M4A/M4B tag edits lose the pictures
Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2011 4:06 am
I have noticed in both 0.80 & 0.79 if you edit a *.m4b file that includes a picture, you'll lose the picture.
The Godfather will correctly read the tag.
The Godfather will correctly edit the "text" tags, but
The Godfather will delete the embedded picture from the *.m4b tag, even if you didn't want to touch the picture field.
.
Tested with editing both the genre & title fields in two respective *.m4b files.
.
I am assuming TGF reads the tag, makes changes in RAM, then edits the tag by deleting the old tag and writing a new one. Somewhere in the read/write process the picture goes missing.
