Update metadata without re-converting?

I have several .epub books that have no cover. I have the "Update meta in saved copies" option checked, but when I loaded them into Calibre, downloaded the covers, then resaved them to disk, the covers were not updated.

If I convert them from epub to epub then save to disk the metadata gets updated.

Is there a way to force an update of the metadata in the Calibre GUI without reconverting? Or, can the command-line utility ebook-meta be configured to download metadata?

Thanks in advance!
