Vanishing Album V9.0.0

[Gilles Caulier]

HI,

Under Windows, a bug has been discovered in 9.0.0 about the network
path registered as a collection.

I recommend trying the 9.1.0 pre-release where the bug have been forced.

Best regards

When it has finished this, which unsurprisingly takes a lot of time, the album does not re-appear in the Album list.
