"your library - no cover art" but album has cover art

You can modify it as you like. You'll see that I have a selection for "less than 480x480". I did that because I wanted all my art at least that big. If your criteria are different, you can modify that selection, or add selection of your own.

Yes, thank you Brian. This is extremely useful and I would not have been able to make this View even if I had thought of it. I have already updated the files that didn't have embedded cover art (even though I thought they did).
Thank you so much again

I noticed that when I change the cover art of an entire album that the image width/height only changes for the the first track and the remaining tracks have no entry. However, when I play a track then the image width/height changes to the correct value. That's not a big issue but I have a lot of albums to change and they still show up as <480x480 since track 2 to end still show no entry in those fields. So that makes me scroll through everything again.
Is there a way to have all the tracks change when their album art has been updated?
Many thanks
Hans
EDIT - One more thing, how does one change the "Approved" field? I don't seem to be able to change anything there
EDIT2 - Figured out the first part. Thumbnails have to be rebuilt to change the image width/height field

On my system, I see something similar when I change art: After I save it, it doesn't appear changed in the view. However, if you press the refresh button that looks like a circle with an arrow on it, the view refreshes, and the changes appear in the view.
Regarding the "image approved" field: I put that in the view because I wanted to be able to say "hey I know this cover art is too small, but I want to hide it even when showing art that is less than 480x480 because I can't find anything bigger."
To use it, you need a field in the MC database called "Image Approved". To create it, do something like this:
Tools > Options > Library & Folders > Manage Library fields > Add new field
Give it the right name (Image Approved). Then go find that field and change these properties:
Data: User Data:
Data Type: Integer
Edit Type: Check
That should do it.
Good luck!
Brian.

Thank you Brian,
I suspected that when I didn't find the Field in the database. Thanks for letting us know.

This technique of making a new Library field to store a flag type value (on or off) is something I do somewhat frequently.
For example, I have a fairly sophisticated Duplicate Finder view. In this view I have a "not duplicate" column that I can use to mark songs that are not really duplicates. That way I can hide all of those if I want to, so I don't keep seeing the same false positives in my searches for duplicates.
It's a very useful technique. Check box fields make it really convenient to use also.
