Hi! I just learned that MP3TAG now supports tagging for MKV files, I got very exited but I love this software, it's easy and user friendly, but I got dissapointed when I tried to add a cover to my MKV files from a PNG file I have in my hard drive , because i couldn't. Is there a way to do this? Thank you

Thanks for your feedback! It's not possible yet, but it's on my internal wish list 🙂

Just for the record:

It seems, that Mp3tag can at least read the included cover in the linked sample file.

I'll add my support for this capability. I didn't realize it wasn't supported, so I went through the process of removing/adding a cover, and when I clicked to update it reverted to the original cover. I was very confused since there's no error message.

Thanks!

[Mp3tag v3.06e](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455) adds support for editing cover art with Matroska MKA/MKV.
