Right now I've been copying the entire database folders to a new location and then deleting all the ebooks, and OPF files.

Is there any way to do this quicker?
My goal is to get a set of folders EXACTLY like the calibre structure,
Author/Title (id)/<files>
(but where <files> is just cover.jpg)

My reason for this is I plan on making a script that reads the database and shows various information, including the covers (and it will be publicly accessible, but I do not want to also include the ebooks themselves).

Since the books table in the DB has a path field, I was intending to utilize that to show the covers, but it means I need to maintain the folder structure.
