I'd like to request the ability to show the dimensions of the cover image in a column. Currently, if an MP3 file has a cover image embedded, Mp3tag will show the mime-type, resolution, size, and cover type in the left-hand sidebar next to the image itself. I'd like to have a new information field …

After various internal experiments, I'm happy to have a solution that has no significant performance implications. With Mp3tag v2.87b , 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 resembl…

With "resolution" you ask for something like "500x500"? Or x=500 and y=500? Or what exactly would you like to see as "cover_resolution"?

Hi @ohrenkino , per my request above, I'm not asking for the ability to manipulate the image in any way. I'm simply asking for the ability to display the image resolution. As I noted, Mp3tag can already display the image mime-type, size (in kilobytes), and cover type, using the respective informatio…

@LyricsLover - just showing "500x500" - exactly as it already shows in the left-hand sidebar - would be fine for me. My point here is that the data is already calculated by Mp3tag, so why not allow it to be shown in a field too, just as the other image data (mime type, size etc) is already available…

And if implementing such feature: why not also give ability to display in Column only vertical size and only horizontal size? So something like: cover_resolution cover_resolution_horizontal cover_resolution_vertical

...Let me illustrate my point a little further with another screenshot, showing the cover image and the four lines of image data in the left sidebar: mime-type, resolution, size, and cover type. As you can see, it's possible to show mime-type, size, and cover type in respective columns in the main …

I just found a thread from 2006: [image] Spalte Coverauflösung Vorschläge Hier fehlt der Platzhalter, um auch diese Info rüber zu bringen. Der Explorer ist leider sau langsam und ich weiß nicht, ob ich dies schon mal so erfaßt oder irgendwo miterfaßt hatte. Es macht auf …

Hi @ohrenkino , First of all, that thread is 12 years old, and computers have come a long way since then. :wink: Second of all, the user in that thread is not asking for the same thing as I am. He writes, "Anzeige des 1. Bildes oder evtl. des mit der größten Auflösung" - so he is asking for the abi…

[image] Jezz: Question: does @Florian read these feature requests too? I appreciate your comments and help with this, but how can I give a feature request to Florian as the developer, so he can consider it? You can see that there are other users here (commenting in this thread) who would also li…

The embedded picture cannot be manipulated by MP3tag, you would have to export it for that purpose.

Then: this topic itself is rather old, there is even an attempt for a workaround from 2008:
