When I try to drag and drop an image from my download history, it doesn't let me. This is a feature most programs have, but I see it doesn't work in MP3Tag. It would be very useful if this could be done. Thank you very much."

That works fine for me if I drag & drop an image to the [Cover Art placeholder](https://docs.mp3tag.de/getting-started/main-window/#cover) in the bottom left corner, along with one or more selected tracks.
What exactly do you mean by "doesn't let me"?
Do you try to d&d an image from your Windows Explorer Downloads directory?
Or directly from inside your browser (from where exactly)?

Desde el Historial de descargas de Google Chrome arrastar la imagen a la portada del MP3Tag
Deepl-Translation:
"From the Google Chrome Downloads history, drag the image onto the MP3Tag home screen"

Yes, that doesn't work currently.
Workaround:
Just click on the open folder icon first (on the right side of your downloaded picture) and Drag & Drop the same image from there to Mp3tag.

Please answer in English or German.
If needed, you can use Deepl or any other online translation software.

I know; I’ve been an MP3Tag user for many years, but I’m offering a suggestion for future versions of the software. Thanks anyway for the reply.
