Dear community,
during making my directory-based collection 'tag-proof' I have another point:
Using 1by1 I made the file 'cover.jpg' the default picture to be shown. When using a tag-based system, this will not be identified.
Is there a chance to integrate hundreds of cover.jpg in hundreds of subdirectories in a batch-mode-like way into each mp3-file of each subdirectory ? It works menu-driven, no problem.
Regards, Bernd.

You can use the action type
# Import cover from file
[/t/967/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/967/1)
As format string enter _cover.jpg_
