Would like to have:

%\_cover\_width%  
%\_cover\_height%

Also, since Mp3tag is easily able to find cover _files_ that it would associate with a given audio file, I'd like some means of finding the following

%\_cover\_size%  
%\_cover\_type%  
%\_cover\_width%  
%\_cover\_height%

for any associated artwork _file_. Perhaps

%\_coverfile% (Maybe True/False or 1/0 instead of a count.)  
%\_coverfile\_size%  
%\_coverfile\_type%  
%\_coverfile\_width%  
%\_coverfile\_height%

and

%\_coverfilename%

This would allow one to find files with or without cover art files, and the size of those files. For example, to find covers that are undersized, so that they may be replaced.

The first two

`%_cover_width%`  
and  
`%_cover_height%`

are available since Mp3tag v2.87b:

> [@Request: Column for cover image dimensions](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/request-column-for-cover-image-dimensions/41243/20):
>
> 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%]

Since this part of the [documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters), also this 3 are available:

`%_cover_mimetype%` --\> Mimetype of first cover art in the tag of the file  
`%_cover_size%` --\> Size of first cover art in the tag of the file in bytes  
`%_cover_type%` --\> Cover type of first cover art in the tag of the file
