Hello, been using this for 20 years, thank you Florian! My daily workflow involves consuming and curating batches of music files. When they get to me I have to go into MP3Tag and run my action which resizes the largest embedded art to 600x600. That works great.
Then comes the slowdown, because these songs come with smaller thumbnails as well, so there are usually 2, sometimes 3 album front-side types in each song. I have to go to each album and choose the 'remove cover' from the context menu on the album art on the left pane.
With the new album art work done in this release I thought I'd revisit my last ask. What would be the most efficient way to prune off the second smaller thumbs and leave the altered 600x600? Thank you!

It is still that way as described here:

> Hello, I am getting a batch of songs that have two embedded front cover album images, one at 500x500 and one at 700x700. I have an action that works on the higher res. and normalizes it to 600x600 (which I want to keep as the only album art in the song) but the 500x500 hangs out there and I have to manually remove it. Is there an action that can act on the that single file and its dimensions and purge it for me? Thanks!
It would be nice if the field PICTURE could be addressed with something like the $meta... functions for other fields.
