Well then, I guess my question is why doesn't it just do that by default when you open the metadata edit window? Or maybe offer it as an option in the 'download cover' screen?
I wouldn't want that to happen by default, what if you don't like the cover inside and you removed it then tried to replace it?

It shouldn't be part of the Download cover popup, because then we'd have to extract the cover from each format of the book, every time someone just wanted to download from the internet.
Much better to leave it at showing the current cover (i.e. "leave alone" option) together with any internet-sourced replacement options.


Okay, granted the current method is a little obscure -- but I believe that is because we rarely have to think about it.
