The idea here is to copy embedded art to filesystem on import. I’m using zero plugin to remove the embedded images.

Hi! Have you seen the `embedart` plugin’s `extractart` command? It’s not automatic, but you might be able to bend it to your will with some manual effort.

No I did not realize it had that functionality. I should be able to automate it or even steal the code for the fetchart plugin 🙂
