Export / Save ONLY Book Covers to Disk?

[userbooknerd]

Is there any way to <select covers> and export or save ONLY the book covers [that have been downloaded via "Download meta data and covers"] to disk?

I have googled a lot and searched for plugins, but I can't find a solution... maybe you fine folks are aware of something?

If you're on Windows, I was able to do it with Bulk Rename Utility using the recursive directory scanning and copy-to-folder.

The latest version of Action Chains introduces two template functions that makes this possible: cover_path(), sanitize_path().

Attached below is two versions for a chain that copies selected covers; one for Windows and the other for Linux.

The chain works by constructing a shell script containing the copy commands, and then running the shell script to carry out the copy process.

You can control the directory structure into which the covers will be copied by editing the template in the first action in the chain. The current destination directory is %userprofile%\{authors}\{title}
