I'm trying to use the --picture switch while re encoding my flac files, but without success.

If I do

CODE

$ flac --fast --picture="|image/jpeg|||./Artwork/Front.jpg" --output-name="CDImage.flac.new" CDImage.flac

I get no errors, but the picture is not imported

CODE

$ metaflac --export-picture-to=p.jpg CDImage.flac.new
CDImage.flac.new: ERROR: FLAC file has no PICTURE block

metaflac --list shows no picture block either.

if I then do

CODE

$ metaflac --import-picture-from="|image/jpeg|||./Artwork/Front.jpg" CDImage.flac.new

it works as expected. metaflac --list shows the picture block and --export-picture-to also works.

Any ideas?

thanks

ok, found the problem.

Apparently, picture importing is not working when the source is a flac file. Tried to decode the flac to wav first and then encode it with the same arguments and the picture was there.

Could someone confirm that this is indeed a bug and not something really bad on my side?

Thanks
