If drag drop track to analyze. Mixxx lose cover art after analyze.
windows 7, 32 bit, mixxx 86 version dated 14th Jan
Most of the big changes come to the desktop version with some cross-platform integration, TouchBar support and more.GargeBand for Mac was updated to version 10.2 today with a nice list of improvements and additions. We are also getting some new content for Apple’s auto drum machine today by way of 3 additional players ( Pop, Songwriter, and Latin) as well as additional loops for the existing Drummers. First of all, Apple has refreshed the overall UI here both aesthetically and functionally. Auto drummer software.

Have you assigned a custom cover before? Does the file have embedded cover art?
Embedded cover art is implicitly updated each time Mixxx is loading a file. If you have removed the embedded cover art from the file since it has been imported into your library, it will disappear the next time you access the track in Mixxx. Custom cover art selected by the user should always be preserved and never replaced by Mixxx!

What type of file is affected?
Copying and attaching the mixxx.log file after this happened would be helpful.
Mixxx dont remove cover art from file, it just show an empty column in track (library) window.
and it didnt reloaded if try to use load metadata from file 'command'.
cant remember how i managed get it back.
this happend a mp3 files which are embeded cover art or cover art is in jpg file.
These files have been in library, and i reset grid bmp info. and re analyzed.
Mixxx won't touch the embedded cover art, even if you enable metadata export.
Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce the behavior you described, neither for files with embedded cover art nor for files with a custom image file selected as cover art.
For further analysis we need an excerpt of the log file when the issue occurred and a detailed step by step description of the actions you did and which results you actually observed. If the issue only affects some files then an example file could help.
i am talking track(library) window column covert art. not talking files.
have'nt found a logic when it not show or lose cover art from column cover art.
I am trying to re-analyze my songs, as told in forum.
When i dropped about 200-300 songs, there now after analysis many, plenty of songs
which cover art column is now empty.
try your self, let mixxx analyze few hyndred songs for you and do drag and drop,
I still can NOT confirm any cover loss! Nevertheless by analyzing the code I've done some minor improvements and optimizations: Mp3 bpm detector.

DARK METAL Skin for MIXXX
(Includes full source code. They are mostly all XML and SVG files)
1) 100% Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).
• 100% Quality lossless graphics.
Not even one bitmat anywhere.
2) Fully resizable.
• Small screen users can use it too.
All elements must fit nicely in all resolutions. Please note that If your resolution is too small, some racks (rows) may overlap, even so, you can still disable their visibility (there are lots of buttons, in the top bar, for that. These buttons are always visible, no matter what, even you 'enable' everything). Ready from 1024x550, to infinity.
3) Mixxx features.
• Contains the lattest Mixxx features.
But!.. I´m sure that not all tasks arent done, so I´m always sharping the graphics, correcting issues, adding forgotten stuff..
4) Unique features.
• Contains original and unique features.
I´ll try to add features not available (yet!..) anywhere else, they must be functional too, of course. Like the analog VUs, the digital fonts, strobes, a grey only color scheme (a fully 'metallic' skin), add your own logo or texts, etc, etc, etc.. Our imagination (vs. the code), will be the limit..

Last update: 12 June 2018 - Changes Log:
(Lattest features added at the bottom of this list)
1: Added the new Laptop Battery indicator. (NOT functional, since it is not compiled with Mixxx yet)
2: Added the new 'recording time' indicator.
3: Corrected colors for the #AARRGGBB color format. (Noticeable in the waves)
4: Added 'star rating' in the main (big) decks.
5: Added the new 'effect selector' (QComboBox) in the effects. (Click in the effect name)
6: Added button to show/hide the vinyl controls. (Per deck/channel. Because it seems that many people just dont use it)
7: Added button for 'quick effect'. (Per deck/channel, in the main (big) decks)
8: Added the 'Beat Jump' and 'Beat Loop' options.
9: Changed channels texts from 'AB','CD' to '12','34'. (Requested by users)
10: Added the 'cover art', in the small buttons row. (Placed on decks. Helps me a lot, because it 'drag-n-drop' feature)
11: Added options to select by module on the 'Mics', 'Aux' and at 'Long Waves'.
12: GUI was re-designed (Excessive/Confusing buttons. Much more user-friendly/intuitive GUI by now). And now it works great on vertical monitors, too.
13: All resources were optimized (~300Kb less).
14: Big Decks and Mini Decks can now move partially too. (Done by a Splitter)
15: Beat Sync in the mixer. (Between the Big Decks)
16: Fixed many many other small (minor) issues.
17: Strobes were added! (Experimental yet - Works great with music beats.. BUT only after 'Gains' from 8.0 and plus on most musics..
I will try to do it better using <transform> or any other trick, but will be hard .. .. .. )
18: Possibility to display your own logo (Edit any file 'logo_x.svg', located inside the 'graphics-logos' folder, then edit 'mylogo'´s value at 'skin.xml' file)
19: Added all the 64 Samplers.
20: Added music drop areas, for all decks, in the library toolbar (Specially handy when the library is in full view mode)
21: Added tooltips (Will be a progressive work..)
22: Added ducking to the microphones
23: Added all beat and grid options (Small buttons. Visible in Big Decks)
24: Added all key options (Small buttons. Visible in Big Decks)
25: Ducking options fixed (On microphones)
INFO: This skin is always tested with the lattest Mixxx builds, so may not work well in previous Mixxx versions!
Last test on: mixxx-2.3.0 - The lattest compiled MIXXX releases are here:http://downloads.mixxx.org/builds/master/release
INFO: If you encounter any skin issues, they may be caused because Mixxx saves and keeps all skins 'old' variables and 'old' settings, in files. For example: In 'Windows OS' these files are usually saved at: 'C:Users<Your User Name>AppDataLocalMixxx'. Deleting these skins related files should solve all that issues. (Note: Mixxx will create new ones there when running. So, everything would be updated by then)

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
The 'making of' Dark Metal skin:
• Tools:
1) Notepad++(My preferred to edit XML files): https://notepad-plus-plus.org ..OR.. The 'modernish' Atom: https://atom.io
2) INKSCAPE(To draw the vectorial graphics): https://inkscape.org
3) SVG Explorer Extension(Very handy and useful since it generates SVG thumbnails in the Windows´s explorer): https://svgextension.codeplex.com/releases/view/118790 ..OR.. For GNU/Linux users, one from these (choose only the ones with SVG support, of course): http://www.tuxarena.com/2011/02/top-5-i .. ntukubuntu
• Tips:
1) The included SVG files in this skin, not only are the screen displayed 'images', but they are the editable/working files too, so they can be opened and customized by anyone else too. You just need to have INKSCAPE or similar.
2) Avoid Corel Draw (Tested with the lattest Corel Draw X7) - Very powerfull, but it adds extra proprietary metadata in the SVG files, what results in huge file sizes and it converts shadows into bitmaps. Besides all that, most of those files just can´t be parsed with Mixxx, or any other 'standard' opensource SVG parser.
3) Always export SVG files (from INKSCAPE) with
Cover Art Yahoo Pepsi
all texts converted to paths!4) Preparing graphics to handle all the possible color <Schemes> correctly (When system is processing colors, to generate a new color scheme, colors may blur borders (eg: Very visible at the buttons), this happens because that colors are overriding theirs (normally defined by 1px strokes) own limits, what makes the visuals very ugly and incorrect). To avoid this: A) Degradee the colors to 100% black (or white) just before it reaches your graphic maximum width or height, just 1px before, will be enought. B) Void set <VConst> values. 0 (zero) should always be 'perfect'.
5) Want to broadcast (for tests or to create your own radio)? Just go here: http://www.listen2myradio.com (Its the one that I use, fast to create an account, HQ audio stream, decent radio urls, allows 5000 listeners on the free plan, decent backoffice, decent in overall aspects). I´ve tried many many others.. Just wasting my time!.. Don´t waste yours.. (There could be much better audio streaming servers than this one, of course. But I havent found any until the moment, and I´m completly happy with this one.. at least, until now.. And the most important, it hosts the best radio on the moon, Jorge Radio: http://jorge.radiostream123.com - Probably offline at the moment.. .. .. )

This project is not related with MIXXX, but plays music too, and since I use it a lot to entretain the kids in the house.. Here it goes..
Its a 'live music player', can work like a 'karaoke' or to 'read bed time stories' (reads '.txt' and '.srt' subtitles files formats), BEST if you record your own voice reading stories, works like magic to the kids.. Many many examples are included too. Just digg trought all that files, should be easy to customise all that stuff.

- Tries to 'give' to the music some 3D visual effects.
- The main idea is to work along with Mixxx (synchronized visuals) while playing music. At this moment this soft is standalone.
- This software will display some 3D visuals (to be sent to a 2nd monitor or to TV sets). You could display your DJ name, Bar/Pub/Disco name, your own sponsor, etc, etc....
IMPORTANT:
1) The '.exe' (executable files) are inside the 'bin' folder.
2) KEYS and many REVELANT information is in the 'README' file.

• Needs to be compiled for all platforms (Compiled only for MS Windows at the moment)
