If it can be done with mp4 then mp4box will be able to do it and it's command line so you can do it in batch.

Not really possible with the current version, you'd have to modify the source picture first to get the desired output size(or modify the output in the code, which isn't up-to-date atm since I was waiting to make a few changes first, to force a certain size), but that would be a good thing to add.

thanks for all your work on this little but very good program, i use it dayli to bring my movies up todate. One thing more you realy need to add is that i can drag files to the program and not only have one specific folder to add. :)
In mp3tag fxample here you need to drag all files at ones as every thing will dissapere when you forgot one file and do again.

question. Sorting with Win 10 explorer. I have lots of Folders with movie file, subtitle file, picture file.
I want to see All my Folders with content, expanded and grouped by folder path. Sorted by the date i have created the movie file. i simply cant get it to work.

Sounds like you want to sort with 2 columns(path and date), which isn't possible in windows explorer as far as I know.

I'm hoping there will be. Finding a balance between things is hard and I haven't been coding at all for a few months now because I've been too absorbed by other things.

Hopefully I manage to get started again today(said to myself I would yesterday but here we are the next day and I haven't started yet) since there's a few bugs annoying me in my own script and I do need to make a modification to the cover cropping script before I continue on that other one.

maybe you can find the issue that it stops. it seams its to do when the indexing from windows is running but i cant tell. also would be very very nice if i could drag the picture in and make them one by one where they are missing instead of specifying the whole folder

The main thing I need to add is support for opening a cover file directly so if the GUI library I'm using can understand drag and drops, it should be trivial to add after.

That bug will be a lot trickier without knowing what the issue really is but I'm hoping beefing up the checks on stuff will possibly help.

I'll also look back at the other stuff you said in here.


Edit: Drag and drop support will be in the next release, I've added it today.
