Missed covers and dates for APE and WV audio files

[pfallema]

As the metadata is in the files, have you set the ThumgGen preference to scan for All files?

That could be it.

Menu, Preferences, Library
Thumbgen scan

Specify which audio formats are scanned by the thumbnail generator. Selecting "Default" can result in a faster scan.
Default: aac, aiff, dff, dsf, flac, m4a, mp3, mp4, ogg, wav and wv.
All: All audio formats listed in the output of the MPD -V command.
Plus: The + option adds image types jpg/jpeg, png, tif/tiff to the scan which enables thumbnails to be generated for images in parent folders of the Album folder for example Artist or CD box set images. NOTE: Incorrect thumbnails may appear in the Library if the Album folder also contains image files and "Cover search priority" is set to Embedded


It might be an improvement to break out the Thumbnail generation options into a separate Preferences section.

Thank to the steve4star's suggestion, I have changed the Menu, Preferences, Library, Thumbgen scan option from Default to All and now the missed covers related to the APE and WV audio files are again available.
The date info is still missed, however I have to fix my initial report because the lack of date affects only the APE audio files, no issues with the WV ones.
