Download Covers is broken!

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi Everyone,

I am currently running Wiiflow R42 with cIOS249 V19 but have also tried 
cIOS222 V5.

I know this problem has been reported but it seems to be getting ignored.
New covers have been broken since R25. Old covers that were downloaded 
with R25 are still ok with newer versions. It does not matter if the games 
are loaded on WBFS, FAT32, NTFS.

I downloaded the 3D .png image files myself from wiitdb.com. I cleared my 
cache and boxcovers folders and copied my downloaded .png files to the 
boxcovers folder. I find that these covers will display the first time but 
the images are to small for the covers in Wiiflow. Once a cache file is 
created for a cover, the covers are corrupted.  The top part of the cover 
is ok but the bottom is corrupt. The half corrupted cover is still two 
small.

I would guess that the images are resized for Wiiflow after they are 
downloaded. This is were the problem occurs.  If I examine the resized 
images in with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, they are corrupt and will 
not display. It seems the problem is with the resizing after downloading.
Once this is fixed, I would guess that the cache files will be created 
correctly.

I hope this will help shed some light on this problem so the developers 
can fix it. Thanks...

Hi everyone,

Well my post is crap. I am wrong about the images getting resized. I was 
downloading 
the wrong .png files from wiitb.com.  I now realize that wiiflow uses the HQ or 
high 
quality images. So I cleared my boxcovers and cache folders and manually 
downloaded 
the correct images again.  Very interesting results.

When wiiflow is first started a cache file is created for each cover. All of 
the 
covers display correctly. However as soon as you flip through the covers, they 
get 
corrupted when they move to the current or middle position. If I exit the app 
and 
clear the cache folder again, then the covers display again. It would seem the 
problem occurs when the cache files are created.

The .png files do not actually get corrupted as I originally thought. They 
display 
just fine with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

Sorry for any confusion my post might of caused...
