Run action, then tool, then action from one click?

Hi. Scenario: I rip to apple lossless and embed a 1000 x 1000 ish dpi image in each file (for AppleTV, hence the need to embed and not use e.g. folder.jpg). I batch convert them to mp3 for my iPod, after which they too have the massive hi-res art embedded in them, but clearly I don't want a 1Mb art in each mp3!

So, I've got an action which does a bit of tag formatting, and extracts the artwork to a C:\temp.jpg
I then run a tool from mp3tag which calls Irfanview's batch convertor/resizer, which gives me C:\resized.jpg.
I then run another action which overwrites the hi-res art in the mp3 with the C:\resized.jpg.
I then run another tool which calls a batch file to delete the 2 .jpg files mentioned above (as mp3tag and Irfanview won't overwrite).

So my question - is there anyway I can link all of this into one keypress or mouse-click? Ta!

I've found no way. Mp3tag actions won't run external tools and Mp3tag doesn't allow its actions to be run by external tools or scripts. The latter has been requested many times by users so may appear.

But it seems your method could be greatly accelerated by a fix to

(mp3tag ... won't overwrite).

so that is worth requesting.
