You can create a list of all image files in a foldertree.  
Open the Execute Dialog [WinKey+R] and paste the following commandline into the edit field.  
Change the example starting folder from "M:\MUSIC" to your needs.  
Run the command.

```
CMD.EXE /U /C (CD /D "M:\MUSIC\" && DIR "*.jpg";"*.bmp";"*.png" /S /B /A /O:GNE /-P>"%TEMP%\PictureList.txt") && START "" "NOTEPAD.EXE" "%TEMP%\PictureList.txt"

```

At end of the run a Notepad window should display the resulting list.

Added CMD.EXE option /U and automatic closing of cmdline window.

Here comes a somewhat interactive commandfile, which will do the same as the previously shown commandline.

Additionally, here comes a somewhat interactive commandfile, mainly related to another topic anywhere in the forum ...  
[Album-Cover aus Datei importieren](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/8179/1)  
... which will provide the biggest picture file within a folder under a standard name, useful together with Mp3tag image import function.
