There is no "file". It's content is read, parsed and copied to an internal buffer along with the other OPS documents. Nothing of the original document remains.

But I did notice you completely ignored suggestions for a dialog that lets the user specify what is the cover image. The world is larger than calibre, too. A lot of epubs, if not the vast majority, will not have the guide element.

So let's make a deal: you make a dialog for specifying what is the cover image in the book in calibre, and I'll add WYSIWYG actions for specifying what is a cover page in Sigil (which will generate the guide element on export). Deal?

I think this works in the user's favor, no matter what the application.
