Thanks for providing this amazing plug-in! I've been putting my entire library in order and this has made everything so much prettier. I found a bug and also have a feature request, though.
The bug: in the custom text area in the contents tab, if there are multiple newlines (or \n) in a row, text before the first consecutive newlines disappears entirely, and text after the newlines displays starting at the very top of the cover, regardless of where it should have been placed to respect the other things (title, series, etc) around it. If there are more consecutive newlines after that text, text after them will also reset its position to the top and display there. I eventually figured out that this was what was going on, but I was quite confused for a while.
The feature request: Would it be possible to configure generate cover to choose both a settings configuration and an image file based on values in columns in calibre (e.g. custom ones like #coversettingsname and #coverfilename)? I have one particular settings template that I've been messing with (changing font sizes, layout, etc) which I would like to be the default for new ebooks, but perhaps with a custom file displayed behind it. Specifying values in columns would allow me to re-generate covers if I make a change to the base template, without having to perform that operation separately for each of the background images I have. I don't want to make a new template for each image because I'm still not sure I'm done messing with the template. (To give you more concrete info about my use case, my background image is a border around the text that gets displayed, and I have different borders for different genres so that I can visually distinguish them immediately).
