I have a custom Walmart cover art search but the problem is that I can't enable the MC options/features that work with Google Images.
Since MC always defaults to IE I can't seem to copy the image location to manually tag the files either, so I have to download the files manually.
Is there a way to enable this functionality for custom searches; why does it only work with Google Images?

Just to clarify, are you saying you can't
Right Click on Image > Copy
Then Right Click on file > Cover Art > Paste from Clipboard?

I'm not used to using IE7, and looking again I now see "Copy" (could have sworn that wasn't there last night upon pop-up window right click options), but copy shortcut is greyed out. Copy works though; I used to always use Copy Image Location in Firefox.
thanks!

Just a tip that pasting a URL will give a better quality image than pasting the actual image since Media Center can download the exact JPEG instead of resaving bitmap data as a new JPEG.

Good to know Matt. How can I grab the url in this situation?
Wal-mart brings up a pop-up when I choose "Enlarge".
The IE right-click menu won't allow me to copy the url, only copy.
I tried to copy the "Enlarge" url but it is the page location, and not the image url./
Maybe I can customize the menu in IE7?

Normally you can get the URL from right-click on an image in IE > Properties.

True, I had thought of that but ...I'm lazy. ;D
It would be nice to have that Google Image functionality elsewhere but just having this ability within MC is great, especially loading into new tabs.
thanks
