Hi guys, is there any way to filter elements in mp3tag according to the width or height of the embedded album art? I know you can order them according to the total size in bytes of the cover image, but I'm interested in doing it according to the image dimensions specifically. Thanks in advance!

Since this thread appears as first entry for a search with "cover width" or "cover height" I would like to add that this two new variables where added in Mp3tag v2.87b:

`%_cover_width%`  
and  
`%_cover_height%`

> After various internal experiments, I'm happy to have a solution that has no significant performance implications. With [Mp3tag v2.87b](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455), you can now use %\_cover\_width% and %\_cover\_height% to access the width and the height of the first embedded cover art. An example column configuration that resembles the requested information field for cover resolution would be [%\_cover\_width% x %\_cover\_height%]
