Not sure if this is a technical problem or a missing feature but when I created my database I had a load of images that I'd locked on my desktop as I'd scanned and contributed them myself and they were locally at a much higher resolution than the ones that are downsized for contribution. When I synched my iPhone I got no images across from those profiles with a lock. I didn't have a missing image icon, just a plain white box where the image sould be.

I then went back and removed all the locks on my desktop database and re-synched and the white images didn't update. I seem to remember a reply to an earlier question I had when I was getting some really low res images coming through that once an image had been acquired it wouldn't be updated again. Is this the case? What if an initial contribution is from pre-release press image packshots which are then updated with actual scans upon release. If the iPhone synchs with the pre-release art how do I get the new actual scans on the iPhone database?

What I'm hoping is the case is that images won't re-synch unless there have been any changes to the image for a given profile, but at the moment this doesn't seem to be working for me. I created a new database in the end, but for some reason there are still a couple of boxsets that refuse to download the actual image and just have a white box.

I might try a database repair and then create a new database. Maybe there's something corrupted for those profiles and that's why I just get a white image.

If it is the case that images WON'T resynch even if changes have been made, can this be altered please? If not then being able to force an update of individual profiles would be a nice addition, wouldn't have to do the whole database, just the profiles you want.

I don't believe it is the locks that are causing your problem as I have every profile locked and all my images were transfered.

Yes I believe Ken implemented that in 1.0.1. BTW I also have a number of my profiles locked in my collection and all the images transferred over to my iPad.

I would leave them locked if I were you, I don't think that is the issue remember when you sync with the idevice the covers will be resized to the resolution you have set in the options on the update collections screen. One thing should have nothing to do with the other, why lose all your high rez scans on the desktop.

Welll you've got me too, the only other thing that I can think of is reinstalling the app. I know it's a PITA but there doesn't seem to be anyone else reporting this behavior (that I can find) so it sounds device specific.
