Description Jessica 2022-02-14 21:55:27 UTC

Images are not stored inside the data file

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. "configure tellico" -> general: choose store images in data file
2.  create new book collection
3.  add a book by internet search
4. add an image from hard drive to this new book
5. save the entry and see that the image is now displayed correctly
6. save the tellico file
7. reload the tellico file and see that the image has returned to the default image 
(when opening the tc file with winzip, the default image is inside so the chosen image is never saved correctly)

OBSERVED RESULT

Images are not stored inside the data file. Only the default image is stored there

EXPECTED RESULT

The chosen image should be stored

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows 10
git

I solved the problem but I don't know if this is a bug or not. (without doing this, the chosen option is not applied while it is chosen in the user interface!)
In  "configure tellico", choose another option, then choose " store images in data file", click apply.
Now the images are stored in the tellico file

That's the KDE way of doing things. Changes are not "saved" until either Apply or OK is clicked.
