Can you bulk remove cover art in either CLI or GUI?

[Penjuugo]

Hello. Is there a way to bulk remove the cover art from mp4 files via the CLI or GUI versions?

Only the CLI support handling multiple files at once.

Checkout the according README section for how to use the CLI. When using Windows, also take note of the Windows-specific remarks. In this case you would basically use tageditor set cover= -f file1.mp4 file2.mp4 file3.mp4. Maybe the section about temp files is relevant for you as well.

oh i clearly missed that. I will take a look again. Thanks!

Just a follow up:
It states you need to list out each file in the command string. Are you able to use any wildcards at all? Say I have 1000 files and want to remove the cover art from all of them. Is that possible?

I tried: *tageditor set cover= -f .mp4 while having the exe in the folder where the files are located, but am getting an unrecognized command error.

If not. would I need to list all 1000 files in that command or break it up into parts?

Sorry, I'm pretty bad at understanding CLI stuff.

No, wildcards are not supported by the Tag Editor itself. However, you can normally do this on shell level, e.g. when using Bash *.mp4 would expand to all files with mp4 extension in the current directory. You can also use utilities like find. Not sure how to do this on Windows, though - except that you can also install Bash/find there easily via MSYS2.

OK. I will see if I can find a work around. If not, I'll just use the GUI and click on each file. How bad could it be? XD

Thanks for the help!
