I'd like to automatically generate it from the calibre dropdown.

Thanks!
The short answer is no - i.e. the plugin can't generate covers from a Powerpoint file, in fact the plugin can't generate covers from anything. 'Generate Covers' is a bit of a misnomer - its more like a 'Cover Creator'.

This may be easier than creating a PDF ==>> [PDF] Export PowerPoint slides as JPEG - Clark University

Just drop the resultant JPG into the Book Details (right) sidebar.
