Lock Posters

After going through this issue again, found the difference in metadata.

<Field locked="1" name="title"/>
<Field locked="1" name="titleSort"/>
<Field locked="1" name="studio"/>
<Field locked="1" name="art"/>
<Field locked="1" name="originallyAvailableAt"/>
<Field locked="1" name="year"/>

So you can have it all look like that within the XML for anything that can be randomly changed upon refresh.

What is missing is this:

<Field locked="1" name="thumb"/>

If ‘Thumb’ isn’t locked, then the item can be altered by a refresh.
Not sure why it’s tied to ‘thumb’ and not ‘art’, but it looks to be the one consistency across any of the items that have had their covers changed.

This would all be helped if there was an easy ‘lock’ option though on the user-side. Being told it’s not an issue is beyond frustrating as this this has been requested repeatedly for years.
