Test versions will just drop in over the old version. I've occasionally had the installation go wrong though (damned gremlins), just try again and hopefully it'll work.

Yes, that's possible. It's pretty customizable too if you know regex - I was experimenting with switching to a profile with smaller text if the title was 'too long', but ended up not doing it for some reason.

Code:
## If you have the Generate Cover plugin installed, you can use the
## generate_cover_settings parameter to intelligently decide which GC
## setting to run.  There are three parts 1) a template of which
## metadata part(s) to look at, 2) a regular expression to match the
## template, and 3) the name of the GC setting to use, which must
## match exactly.  Use this parameter in [defaults], or by site eg,
## [ficwad.com]
## Make sure to keep at least one space at the start of each line and
## to escape % to %%, if used.
## template => regexp to match => GC Setting to use.
## To use this, make sure you go to the Generate Cover tab in FanFicFare
## config and check 'Allow generate_cover_settings from personal.ini
## to override'
## You can check for an existing cover image in the metadata
## cover_image.  cover_image can be:
## specific -- The site has an image that is specifically this story's cover
## first -- The first image in the story or story desc is used as cover
## default -- A default_cover_image was used
## force -- A force_cover_image was used
## old -- There was already a cover image in the epub.
## This is useful because GC plugin can use the existing image.
#generate_cover_settings:
# ${category} => Buffy:? [tT]he Vampire Slayer => BuffyCover
# ${category} => Star Trek => StarTrekCover
# ${cover_image} => ^$ => CompleteCover
# ${cover_image} => (specific|first|default|force) => CoverWithOrigImage
