Another handy tool for those that don't need or want big cover files is the Resize Cover PI
Is the Search the Internet PI still out there? I was trying to add that back - but I didn't see it on the available plugins list. I also used to use that quite frequently. But that wouldn't solve this issue - I often do a manual search and find covers that way - because the issue is having to exit the metadata editing window to use a plug in.

And it is exactly the Resize Cover PI that I am referencing. It would be great if that PI could be accessed through the MDE window. But I guess - if it is possible for them to access control of that window - it would have to be the PI developer who would program that functionality. But I use that PI in particular - its just the minor inconvenience of having to exit MDE - resize - and then get back to editing the metadata. Ideally it would be in the menu with the automatic and manual cropping tool to get rid of the white spaces when the exist.
