Hello,
I'm a new user of mp3tag. And I was trying to add cover art for a film in **mkv** format with 12 **chapters**. I tried adding the cover art by selecting each chapter one by one. I also tried adding cover art by pressing Shift and selecting all at once. Both didn't work. What did I miss?

Another issue, I tried adding and saving a cover art to an **mkv** file. But it didn't get saved, no matter how many times I tried. Additionally, I right clicked the file and chose **Extended Tags**. There **Add cover** was greyed out.

Thanks

Hi Joseph,
adding cover art to MKA/MKV is currently not supported. It's on my list and I plan to add it with a future release.
Kind regards

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