Logos 4 Mac 4.2a Beta 7: Book Covers Not Showing Up

I'm on Logos Bible Software 4.2a Beta 7 (4.21.5.0402) and first noticed this issue yesterday while adding some new resources to my library. For some reason the book covers on my Mac installation didn't show up for those books, but they did show up correctly on my Windows 7 Logos installation.

So I played with it for a while and deleted the catalog.db file in the LibraryCatalog folder numerous times to force it to rebuild the database, but all to no avail. Logos would rebuild that file, but it would only be about a fifth of the size of the original file and instead of a few covers missing, the majority would be missing.

So last night I just deleted my entire Logos installation and installed everything from scratch. Redownloaded the resources and everything. This morning when checking it I found the catalog.db file back to its normal size, but still with a number of resources missing their cover images. So even with a reinstall, the problem remains.

I've included a screen grab of the problem just to show what it looks like:

Also included here are my log files, which seem to hint at the problem: 4572.Log Files.zip

02/19/2011 16:24:29 | WARN | 6 | LibraryCatalog | No metadata found for resource '{782DBF4D-222B-4D8D-939B-77611925A144}'.

This warning comes up about 30 times or so, which seems about right for the number of resources missing a cover.

Any way to fix this problem?

I'm having the same problem, I noticed today that my ESV cover does not show up in my shortcut bar. I opened my library and realized that many of my other resources are not showing the covers either.

the book covers on my Mac installation didn't show up for those books,

I found this in a few random books in my library, but could not find a discernible pattern. In mine, both ESV and BDB covers show. Out of 3414 resources, I saw about 6±. As I said above, I cannot see a pattern. I even had a single journal out of 868 missing its cover (Tyndale Bulletin Volume 5).

Any way to fix this problem?

I will send an email to see if someone from Logos will look at this.

EDIT: Just realized that your initial post was Saturday. Melissa will probably read the thread sometime today. If not, I will send the email. Don't let me forget.

No need to worry about post getting lost during a weekend - was and will be read by many, including some Logos employees.

With holiday today, may be another day before Logos employees read this thread at work.

Keep Smiling [:)]

The 4.2a RC fixed the issue, mostly. I was able to rebuild the catalog.db fully this time and that re-did most of the covers on the books. Still a few that didn't catch, though, but no biggie I guess.

A few resources in your library will have a generic book cover, such as Clause Visualizers, and some Magazines and Journals. If you come across one you think should have its own cover but doesn't, list it here so we can determine if there is a problem. Thanks.
