I would like to see that when exporting an embedded picture to file with the action of the type "Export cover to file" that all the properties are taken from the current picture - and not just from the first.
So, e.g. if a cover file name is defined as
`%album%_%_cover_type%_%_cover_width%x%_cover_height%`
and there are embedded picture with the property
front: `600*539`
and
back: `840*472`
then the resulting filenames for the picture are:
My Album\_Front Cover\_600x536
My Album\_Back Cover\_600x536
whereas
My Album\_Back Cover\_840x472
would have been correct.
PS: even though most front and back covers of the same album would probably have the same size, there are a number of other possible cover types that most likely have different properties: Leaflet, media, icon, Publisher logotype etc.
So it would have its use cases ...

The alignment of the attributes of all embedded images enables the comparison by corresponding routines. In this way, covers whose type or dimensions do not match the individual specifications can be automatically removed and reordered by procedures. This gives MP3TAG basic functionality in the field of automatic image processing. 👍👍

Thank you both for the suggestion! I've added this with [Mp3tag v3.14k](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455).
