I'm trying to find the cover image in LRF files. I haven't managed to find any really detailed info about the file format on the web.

I have managed to find that in most (version >=800) files there is a tiny thumbnail gif, and I can successfully retrieve this.

But despite having looked through Calibre source, I can't find out where the cover is stored, although one ominous comment implied there wasn't a standard identifier for the cover.

Can anyone help, either directly or by pointing me to a documentation source?

Thanks.

Paul
