Once I have a hi-res cover or one that's acceptable, I put it in the ebook using the editor. I also resize it to 1680 lines if it's larger.

The problem is when there is no download found - I can often find them manually (or I have a cover already (for example when I am cataloging a DVD or Video or Audio Music Lesson). But often times the image is rather small. So I add the file - but then have to exit the metadata window (unless - and I try to do this - except when it is discovered that the plugins dont find a dowload and I try = I drop the cover onto the window before editing metadata - I added to see the image size - so then I know to enlarge it before editing the item.
It would just be nice if - like the ability to automatically or manually crop the image to get rid of unwanted white space from a scanned image - to have an option to enlarge it built into that button on the metadata page.
