When I check 'read metadata from file contents...' I get covers for most of the books. If I uncheck it, I don't get the covers. Is there a way to get the metadata from the filename *and* extract a cover?

I get a better DL of metadata from using filename metadata but sometimes Calibre does something totally unexpected. I find having extracted covers a good check for DLed metadata accuracy. Otherwise I have to get metadata book by book.
