# Issue Downloading Covers
WiiFlow has a issue when downloading covers. Mainly when downloading a large quantity. The problem is the cover 'png' images get downloaded and saved but some or all of them don't get converted to 'wfc' cache files that WiiFlow actually uses to display them on screen. The cause isn't totally known but it appears to be an issue with 'out of memory'. most likely if it happens you will need to exit wiiflow and reboot it.
The easiest way to fix it is remove your SD card or USB device and connect it to your home PC. Download and use a program called WFC_conv by Wiimpathy. It's a Linux and Windows tool that will convert all the png images in a folder to wfc files for wiiflow.

***
WFC_converter is a command line tool to convert images to WiiFlow cache files. It scans all covers found in 'boxcovers' and save the .wfc files in the cache folder. Only png are supported with the same constraints as in WiiFlow(max height < 1090 for example).
You may consult the log file 'log_cachecreate.txt' for any errors during the cache creation. Refer to the Return codes in pngu.h to see what the error number means.
