I've the problem that MyPicsDB uses xbmcvfs (virtual file system) to access pictures stored on network shares.
Xbmcvfs doesn't supply a file modification time function.
Beginning with Gotham there is a xbmcvfs.Stat class. But not for Frodo or Eden.

Use version 13.3.6 from my repo.
Seems to work with Frodo 12.3, too.

I'm running v12.3.6
First I make a new selection of pictures using the 'Filter wizard'. Within the wizard I use the option "Equal to all tags", then I save this wizard.
When pushing the OK button, I see the correct set of pictures.
Then I'm leaving the wizard and return to the main menu. From here I select 'Saved filter wizard settings' and choose the filter just saved. The number of pics are not equal when I had a look after OK button in the Wizard itself. It looks like that not the "equal to all tags" is being used, but more likely the OR-option is used.
I tested this on 2 several machines, one running XBMC 12.3 Frodo and the other one is running Gotham night builds. Both environments experience the same errors.
Can you have a look to this ?

I got a problem with my dng-files. (the raw-files of adobe photoshop and lightroom)
Inside the dng-files I got some keywords like in jpg.
The jpg-keywords are fine in the addon, but not the dng.
I can see the pictures, but no tags.
DNG is enabled in the addon settings.
What is missing?
(XBMC Frodo, v12.3.7 of addon, Win7 32 Bit)

[edit]
OK. Deleted the DB and searched again - and here it goes. All tags found.
But why is this?
Maybe because I have many xbmc clients sharing the same addon and db?
Could this be the problem?

Most of the MyPicsDB releases are bugfixes.
Perhaps there was a bug in the file scanner? I don't know.
What you must not do: Don't backup a running database.
E.g. Synology has a directory sync tool which copies modified files. If you use this for the database directory then for sure you'll run into trouble.

After setting the general startup parm 'Init database on startup' all tables in the database are cleaned. But also the tables FilterWizard and FilterWizardItems are cleaned. That is not handy if you want to do a complete rescan of the database.
RFC: Is it possible to skip both tables in the database cleaning process ?
