Is it possible to use it to set a coverart?

[CristhianMotoche]

Hi! Is it possible to use htaglib to add a coverart to MP3 files? If it isn't possible at the moment. What would it need to be able to do it? I see TagLib provides TagLib::ID3v2::AttachedPictureFrame that seems to be an option to add a picture to MP3 files. Will it be possible for htaglib to implement that? Let me know if that makes sense. Thanks in advance.

I'd rather bet on picture() and setPicture(), https://taglib.org/api/classTagLib_1_1ID3v2_1_1AttachedPictureFrame.html#ad71b92d60e661b4cebf6b7881873394a. I think it can be added. PRs are welcome!

Hey @mrkkrp I've been reading about C++ FFI in Haskell to try to solve this. However, I see picture and setPicture are methods of the AttachedPictureFrame class and it seems I cannot call those from Haskell. Apparently, that's not possible because:

The C ABI has no support for objects or calling methods on those objects.

I haven't tried, though. I'll give it a try anyways. If you have any suggestions on this case, I would appreciate it.

Oh, I see it's possible to do it by adding some function wrappers like helpers inside the project. Like you're doing in this repository. I'll give it a try. 🤞

@CristhianMotoche Hi! Did you succeed?

[CristhianMotoche]

Hello @Daniel-Diaz Unfortuntely, no luck. I had many inconveniences with the C ffi calling that function

[Daniel-Diaz]

I guess that means I should give it a try myself! Thanks for the prompt response.

Go for it @Daniel-Diaz ! I'm rooting for you 🙌
