Perhaps there is a simple regex I can apply or similar. If anyone throws the answer at me I will add this sooner, otherwise I will put it on the list for a future release.
Some ideas:
  • First find the .opf file.

    and then:
  • Find the <spine> section and search for (part of)
    Code:
    <itemref idref="calibre_jacket"/>
    or
  • find the <manifest> section and search for (part of):
    Code:
    <item href="jacket.xhtml" id="calibre_jacket" media-type="application/xhtml+xml"/>
    or maybe
  • look for jacket.xhtml as one of the content files inside the epub although I suppose it's possible this name may not be uniquely specific to calibre.
