Just wondering if it is possible to have a column with the dimensions of the cover displayed.
It would really help when updating all those small covers.

Tip:
At present though, as well as meta-taging the usual way, I'm doing it like this:
-have the library open in Win explorer, search for cover, and then sort by size.
-have google image search also open
-Calibre open.

Workflow is, Drag cover over to google (new G image search allows this)
Google finds similar and larger images, copy image and paste on the "book details window of the corresponding entry (have to search for specific entry though.

If it was possible for a column, it would be easy to use the metatagging to go through all the really small covers and update them.

Its def useful to check the MAX size of your "cover" images via explorer.exe I found some that were massive over 20MB each lol, that was slowing things down a bit.
