error moving cover files to new directory

[Bearcat Şándor]

This is a long-standing issue that i'm having.  I have a cover.jpg in each directory. When beets moves the file into a new directory it seems to rename it as cover.1.jpg and then it can't find that file and craps out.  If it does manage to move the file it still renames all graphics in my artwork directory as disk.1.jpg where the original was disk.jpg.  When it does crap out, i end up with the files half moved, beets half updated and a very confused system. I then have to move the files back to the original directory.  Why is it trying to move the graphics before the music files are updated anyway?

Here's an example:

moonwind@jaguarundi 2016-clearview % ls                                                                     14:47:37

Error: No such file or directory while moving /home/hometheater/audio/poets_of_the_fall/2016-clearview/cover.jpg to /home/hometheater/audio/poets_of_the_fall/2016-clearview_[]/cover.1.jpg  

(in this case the text between the brackets is supposed to be the catalognumber but it's missing from this listing for some reason. That's not beet's problem)

Why is it looking for files that have a .1. appended to the basename? Why isn't it just moving cover.jpg to the new target directory. The directory doesn't exist, so there is no need to append the .1 to prevent a duplicate. Even if there were a duplicate i should have the option of an overwrite.

Is this because i have 

import:
    move: yes
    incremental: yes

in my config?

Thank you!

Hmm; it’s hard to say without being able to reproduce the state of your library from scratch. Somehow, beets previously thought the file was at `cover.1.jpg`. Then, the file got renamed to `cover.jpg`, but the path in beets’s database still points to the old name. We’d need to do some more digging to understand how that happened.

This happens with *almost* every move operation. 

What would you need from me to help? A stack trace, my database?

The thing that would help would be steps to reproduce, from scratch, starting with an empty database and an empty beets configuration.

It appears that this is a conflict between fetchart and the copyartifacts plugin:  https://github.com/sbarakat/beets-copyartifacts/issues/14

I'm not sure what to do about that yet, as i need both. I suppose i could just turn off fetchart auto:yes for now.

[Adrian Sampson]

Sure! One good tactic might be to report the bug to the maintainer of copyartifacts, which is an external plugin.

That's an issue in the copyartifacts github repository, so i'd hope they know about it.

Sorry to dredge up this old thread but this is still an issue. I've been running both copyartifacts and fetchart for a few months now, but suddenly every import fails after 2-3 album imports with:

Error: No such file or directory while moving /downloads/Jordi Savall - Christophorus Columbus - Paraisos Perdidos/CD 1/folder.jpg to /music/Montserrat Figueras, Hespèrion XXI, La Capella Reial De Catalunya, Jordi Savall/Paraísos Perdidos, Christophorus Columbus/coverart.jpg

I've tried different cover art titling however the problem seems to be that the artefacts are being moved to a non-existent directory.

I assume based on the above suggestions that disabling one or the other plugin will solve the issue
