Chris,

It will help if we can break down the pieces of your scenario. 

1) the dates appear correctly in the lightbox and in the public catalog.

...............Correct

2) you upgrade pixory. 

How do you upgrade pixory? Which OS are you running?

................ Windows XP Professional - I upgrade by installing over the
existing installation

3) you relaunch pixory. Now dates and cover text are lost? They are
lost where? On the public albums page? In the lightbox also? In the
album viewer? Is the cover text empty and the dates defaulted to the
file date?

............... The dates are not lost but they do not appear to be read
correctly by Pixory - most (but not all) of the albums are displayed under
2003 in the album view.  The cover text is displayed correctly in the album
view but the first photo is displayed instead of the selected photo. If the
dates are selected as Meta they are shown as being Meta in the lightbox but
are being read by Pixory as file.  As and when any of the picture data is
resaved (date, cover photo etc) without making any changes Pixory then
displays the albums correctly.

Is this "always" the case? Is the problem reliably reproducible, or
does it only happen on certain upgrades?

................ it has happened on every upgrade that I can remember

regards

Chris
