I think it'd be helpful if was possible to use the existing album artwork manager to also manage artist images
-
I would totally make use of this.

Fantastic!
I hate to be that guy, but… is there a way to change the default search from Google to DuckDuckGo (Bing)? Surprisingly, I find Bing gives much better results.

How do I search for artwork while in the artist thumb manager? What am I missing?

I just right clicked on the right side of the editor just like album artwork.
Not sure why it's greyed out for you, but I also don't have an image rotation option either

you are looking at the Album Artwork Manager, not the Artist Thumb Manager

I'll be another one of those guys. For the same reason. Bing and/or DDG are much better than Google.

Right click the blank column to the left of where you're clicking - the one with the "artwork (selected tracks)" header

I see, cheers

By the way, It's a bit confusing how that works in the "Album artwork manager"
- when I invoke "search internet for picture" in the "Artwork [Selected Track]" column, it searches on google for pictures of that Artist (??)
- when I invoke "search internet for picture" in the Artwork panel it bring up the familiar artwork search dialog that pulls ablum art from fanart.tv, itunes etc
Was this always the case? I haven't used the artwork manager that much before
EDIT
Now it brings up the artwork search dialog in both instances. I somehow managed to make it bug out before

Seems like it happens if I have the Artist thumb manager open and then open the Album artwork manager without closing the Artist thumb manager first, or the other way round

Not that I'm going to lose any sleep if it doesn't get changed. I was actually wondering if there was already a way in MB to do this (perhaps a future request - let user pick which search engine to use)

thats fixed now

At the risk of being a total PITA and being forever banned from this forum, I wanted to make some requests for some refinement
First and hopefully simple: could you possibly adjust the threshold for "non square artwork"? I have a bunch of artwork that's being filtered that's barely unsquare. A 640x639 type thing. Close enough to square for me
Second, and I'm not sure if it's even possible from Musicbee (this could apply to the album artwork manager too), the ability to right click an image and send it to the default image editor would be awesome (to change canvas size, crop image, for example)
Thanks for your work.

Not only is it (album artwork) possible, it already exists. Double-click on the album art in the tag editor, or if you have it displayed in a panel, and it brings up the artwork in whatever application you set in Preferences > Tools > external application. See the bottom of that window to set the windows default, or a specific app.

Awesome, but I'm goning to need a bit more help here.
I can double click the gfx to bring it up in a window, but nothing about setting a default.
In the settings->tools, I did set a entry for irfanview, but I'm not seeing anything even remotely close to artwork in the parameters
<nevermind, found it. looking in the wrong place>
-
The naming template for the popup window that appears when you double-click on an artist image is currently set to <Artist> - <Title>.
Since the title tag always seems to return "unknown title", why not remove it and use just the artist tag?
