need way 4 EMBY not to update images associated with media

[KenLinder 4]

I had an experience which pointed out (in a big way) that we are lacking a feature in "Edit Images".

I told EMBY to scan for new files in a one directory of a library. Doing this killed all the metadata in that subdirectory structure (over 8000 files) including all the imported images which EMBY now has no record of. This made me aware of a problem (again).

Aside from the fact that this is clearly a major BUG (the server has no need to tamper with existing metadata in order to find NEW media files) we seriously need a way to tell EMBY not to update the *images* associated with a given file. There is a check-box to tell EMBY not to update the OTHER metadata (at the bottom of the page for Edit Metadata) but there is equivalent box to click in the "Edit Images" info to tell EMBY not to 'forget' all of my carefully selected images.

Right now using 'Scan' kills all my carefully selected images and unlike the rest of the metadata there is no way to tell EMBY to leave my images the hell alone.

"Lock this item to prevent future changes" works fine for the textual metadata info. We need the same option for our images (especially given that EMBY gets them wrong way more often than it gets them right).

Hi, Emby never replaces images without being told to do so, so that's why there is no lock images function. What most likely happened is that the server thought your existing image files were no longer present, but we really need to look at a specific example in order to get to the bottom of it:
