[WS] Google Images Cover Search, cover art only Options

[pone]

This script searches for cover art with google images.
It stores only the cover art, no other tags are written.

The tags album & artist are used for search input.
Feel free to write comments and suggestions for improvement!


Script Installation & Usage:
1. Download the script
2. Move the file into this folder: %appdata%\Mp3tag\data\sources
(just copy&paste this into windows explorer adress bar)
3. Run the script from Mp3Tag with this button: ▼


How to edit the script ot use Google Advanced Image Search:
(this is optional, only if you want to limit your search)
The scipt searches for all picture, regardless of size and aspect ratio.
But you can customize this:

1. open the script with a text editior (e.g. notepad.exe or wordpad.exe).

2. go to the line:
[IndexUrl]=http://www.google.com/images?q=%s
This is the standard search. By adding certain codes to it, you can make use of Google's Advanced Image Search.

3. Place this after the index url to use advanced search
&tbs=

4. Add the following codes separated by comma to limit your search:
iar:s _ _ _ quadratic pictures only

isz:s _ _ _ small (side length under 400 px)
isz:m _ _ _ medium (side length between 400 and 800 px)
isz:l _ _ _ large (side length over 800 px)
isz:lt,islt:qsvga _ _ _ larger than 400x300
isz:lt,islt:vga _ _ _ larger than 640x480
isz:lt,islt:svga _ _ _ larger than 800x600
isz:lt,islt:xga _ _ _ larger than 1024x768
isz:ex,iszw:500,iszh:500 _ _ _ exact file size (500x500 in this example)

ift:jpg _ _ _ .jpg files only
ift:png _ _ _ .png files only
ift:bmp _ _ _ .bmp files only
ift:gif _ _ _ .gif files only
ift:svg _ _ _ .svg files only

Example:
[IndexUrl]=http://www.google.com/images?q=%s&tbs=iar:s,isz:l,ift:jpg
gives you only quadratic large jpg files

You can also change google.com to google.de or any other country domain ending to get slightly country-specific search results from google.

If you want, you can make more verions of the script by giving them different filenames.

das plugin funktioniert super! leider ist damit keine automatisierung für mehrere files möglich.

perfekt wärs, wenn mp3tag eine derartige funktion bzw aktion zur autmatisierung von coverimporten über eine bestimmte datenbank (in diesem fall google images) zur verfügung stellt.
