I have my music on a NAS, mounted via NFS to /home/user/Music. Unfortunately, at least for one album mcg accidentally grabbed the wrong image to use as cover (seeing as I had multiple images in the album folder), and now I have no way of removing it as cover art. Even after deleting the wrong image from the NAS and closing and re-starting mcg, it's stuck with the wrong cover art.
Is there a cache somewhere I need to clear?

I agree that it would nice to have a smarter way of updating the cached version of cover images and created #76 for this.

In the meantime you have to options to force the application to reload your image:

Change the image size via the slider on the Library panel.
Delete the cached file(s) at ~/.cache/mcg/ manually and either restart the application or update the library via the button on the Library panel.

Please note that the next version (version 3) will load the images from the MPD server via the “albumart” command (see #30).

I don’t think there is anything left to do here ⇒ closing
