A new related wrinkle, I only just noticed: Changes to the Default file location and Default tracked URL in Show Options don't seem to be "sticking," either. :(

Regarding the empty image mentioned in my original post, I was simply missing artwork (I hadn't uploaded it) for my show. I uploaded artwork and the empty image is empty no more. :)

I muddied the waters by posting two issues in one thread, just want to make sure that the following is still a tracked issue:

• On the Show Options page: "Files for this show are:" always defaults to "Uploaded to this website" after saving. Disconcerting when you want to designate "stored remotely", instead.
