If it is feasible, I'd like to be able to nominate a single dimension (height or width, it does not matter which) and have Calibre enlarge the cover image while retaining the existing proportions.

Most of us must have seen, from time to time, covers which are too small to be easily read. I do realise there are limits but a degree of adjustment would be helpful.
What I do is use Google Images to try to find a high resolution cover when there is no proper cover or the cover is too low resolution. I'm usually successful. Also, Amazon might have a high resolution cover available. This lends to getting a better quality copy then upscaling.
