Description

I'm running Synergy Advance on a PowerMac G5, very recently re-installed system, 10.4.5/newest Tiger system, quite clean. Also running Synergy, as well as the Yahoo Konfabulator iTunes Companion, which downloads album art to iTunes when it finds a track without artwork.

Both the dock icon and my iChat icon seem to update just fine with album art when I'm working in most applications, and iTunes is playing...except Apple Mail. When I'm working extensively in Apple Mail, with that program in the foreground, frequently the icon fails to update when tracks switch. The only way to fix this

I've only experienced this problem when working in Apple Mail. Otherwise, amazing program.

    Interesting... will see if I can reproduce the problem here.

    Further comments...

    If I switch away from Apple Mail (back to iChat, or Safari, for instance) it starts working again...

    It only happens when the album switches while I'm in Mail...and it's reproducible.

    Anything printed to the console when the graphic fails to update?

  4. Dick Huey

    The graphic remains the same as on the last song...the song title switches, however.

    Changing assignment to reflect my new email address.
