# coverview(1)

display cover images

## NAME

coverview - display cover images

## SYNOPSIS

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

## DESCRIPTION

coverview displays cover images which are embedded in audio tracks.

## OPTIONS

- **-h**, **--help**

  show a list of options and exit

- **--no-gtk**

  disable PyGTK-based GUI, if available

- **--no-tkinter**

  disable Tkinter-based GUI, if available

## REQUIREMENTS

coverview requires either PyGTK or Tkinter to display a GUI for cover art. If PyGTK is installed, no other requirements are necessary beyond the Python Audio Tools themselves. If Tkinter is installed, the Python Imaging Library is also required since Tkinter has only rudimentary graphics decoding support. If both are installed, coverview will use PyGTK by default.
