Hi,
I have tried the search function without success of what I am trying to achieve.
I want to replace all my tagged album covers to new 1000x1000 images, I have copied the new images into the correct folders but when I open up MP3Tag it shows the old embedded artwork that I want replaced with my new cover and delete the old one and embed the new one, I have tried the following action
Import Cover Action
Format string for image filename: \> %\_folder%.jpg
Import cover as: \> Front Cover
Tick Delete existing cover art
it is not working for me, what am I doing wrong

There is no variable called %\_folder%.
What is the file actually called?
If it is called folder.jpg then enter that in the format string for the image filename.

Thank you for the quick reply, did as you suggested but get this message
Import cover from file "%\_folder.jpg%" (Front Cover): File \?\Z:!Music\A\Alice Cooper[1973] Billion Dollar Babies\ cannot be accessed.

You could try:
Otherwise you would have to show us how exactly your Front Cover is called in the same folder as your music tracks. [Screenshot](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/hints-for-asking-support-requests/56190#use-screenshots-to-exemplify-the-issue-2)?

This is still not the correct name format. It should just be `folder.jpg` if that is the actual name of the image file. Otherwise if you only have a single image in each folder you could use the wildcard with just `*.jpg` as the filename.
