✨ COVERVIEW(1) — Cover Image Viewer ✨

okay bestie, so this is coverview from the Cover Image Viewer corner of the manual world, and honestly? it's giving "small tool, big main character energy." 🎀

💖 NAME 💖

coverview — display cover images 🖼️✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

coverview [OPTIONS] <track 1> [track 2] ...

like, you pass it some tracks, and it does the thing. no cap.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

coverview displays cover images which are embedded in audio tracks. that's it, that's the vibe. your audio files have lil pictures hiding inside them and this is the girl who pulls them out and shows you. obsessed. 😭💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — show a list of options and exit. literally the "what do i even do here" button. press it, get the tea, dip. ☕
  • --no-gtk — disable PyGTK-based GUI, if available. as in, if PyGTK is there, bestie, we're not using it. 🙈
  • --no-tkinter — disable Tkinter-based GUI, if available. same energy but for Tkinter. bye boo. ✌️

💜 REQUIREMENTS 💜

so coverview requires either PyGTK or Tkinter to display a GUI for cover art — it needs one of them to actually pop off on screen. 🔥

  • if PyGTK is installed, no other requirements are necessary beyond the Python Audio Tools themselves. slay, easy.
  • if Tkinter is installed, the Python Imaging Library is also required, since Tkinter has only rudimentary graphics decoding support. like, Tkinter can barely decode graphics on its own, so PIL has to come along as emotional support. 😭
  • if both are installed, coverview will use PyGTK by default. PyGTK is the favorite child, periodt. 👑
not me warning you that if you've got neither, you're not getting a GUI. that's just what the requirements say, bestie. 💀
