Is there a way to query the number of embedded images?

I am also looking for a way to test the embedded image for a square aspect ratio via script. I would like to delete or load another picture via script.

How can this be done?

the number of embedded picures can be queried with the property variable %\_covers%. You could create a column with it and sort by it.  
The dimensions of a picture can be seen in

| %\_cover\_height% | Cover height of first cover art in the tag of the file in pixels |
| --- | --- |
| %\_cover\_width% | Cover width of first cover art in the tag of the file in pixels |

You find more information about other variables that may be of interest in this context in the help:

Or use a filter, e.g.  
%\_covers% PRESENT  
%\_covers% GREATER 1

✅ That solves my problem, I didn't knew these variables.  
Thank you. 😊
