3) Use save to disk to export the data, make sure the output format is identical to the input format.
4) Replace the *.jpg files in the output directory with the ones you want to use, make sure the names are exactly the same. (I've used the xcopy /s command to do this).
5) Delete the E-books from Calibre.
6) Load E-books into Calibre using "Add-Books one book per directory" but this time use the above named output directory.
7) And, whalla, you have your E-books with the covers you want!!
There may be other ways to achieve this but for now I'm fine, still, a load from disk option in Calibre would save a lot of work.
Anyway, many thanks for the responses and keep reading those books...
Kind greetings,
Guido

That actually isn't an optimal way of doing it because the problem is that you cause a conversion to happen.
The best way to update the cover (other then using Modify ePub) is to use Edit Book, replace the cover image in the ePub with the one you want and then check out the cover HTML to make sure it['s displaying the cover properly and if not, fix that and done.
