I can't get my covers to reload after a re-install!
I've found the folder called My Collection_covers and the images are inside, but when I restore the the backup file no covers
Any ideas, don't tell me I've got to search/re-scan them all again. PLEASE

Probably you have wrong settings for images. Go to VIEW, PREFERENCES, IMAGING and tick STORE COVER IN EXTERNAL FILES IF EXEED box. Adjust KB limit as before (mine is 0 so that all images are stored in the external folder).

I think this should solve your problem.

It's already set to 0kb & store in external folder is ticked
I've re-installed before, but not had this problem
Any thoughts very welcome

When you did backup, was the "Complete backup" option checked? It should be checked by default. Also make sure to use OBK backup option.

Finally, what is your current database size? Usually you can tell if the images are inside the database by its size. Database without images rarely grows bigger than several megabytes.
