Hello.
Very nice application. Works out of the box on NAS devices with perl.
I have a question about FLAC file detection. I would like to extract cover art inside FLAC file but its not even listed.
I am using exiftool 8.24 and the current output of a FLAC file that 100% has a cover art inside is:

As you can see cover gets detected with that application, just not by exiftool.
Is it possible to add this in next version?
Thank you.
Thanks for this report.
If you can either attach a sample or post a URL where I can download a sample then I should be able to add support for extracting this.

Sent you a private message in forum with URL to one of the FLAC file with cover inside.
Thank you again.
Thanks for the sample. I'll see what I can do to add this feature to the next release.
- Phil
There you go. Version 8.25 (just released) should extract this information.
- Phil
Thanks Phil.
I also appreciate this feature for FLAC files.
Works fine for me.
