I was thinking of this feature for a long, even made programs in past to do this as batch. ๐
So the idea is simple,
1. **Resize** the **resolution** to **given resolution** , if It is **greater** than **given limit**.
for example, if given limit for whole batch is _1200x1200_, and the art is _2000x2000_, then it should be checked and resized automatically to _1200x1200_.
1. **Compress** the image, if the size in terms of storage is greater than a given limit. For example, if the given limit is _1MB_ then all images should be made less than _1MB_ if the are originally greater than _1MB_.
I made an external script to do the above stuff, and added it to the right-click menu of the list, but I was thinking this could be a useful feature if its in-built. Maybe it can be introduced as one of Actions. ๐

Hi, this is really useful!
I've been looking for a way to do this for ages, could you please share how you have scripted MP3Tag to do this please?
Thanks

I've looked at that; however, seem to do it in bulk within MP3Tag, and the above person seems to have put together a script that effectively does the job
...awaiting their reply

I don't think compression would be useful...if you compress the image, no other app/device will be able to display it.
