cover creator commandline
Not sure category to put this so I'm just posting in the general section.

Question, is there a way to generate covers via commandline using Calibre?

Adding, replacing and extracting covers can be done using the ebook-meta command.

Tried that but it doesn't quite work like when you add ebooks to the Calibre library. The epub files I have don't contain a cover image and the cover that ebook-meta generates is basically just the first page of the epub. What I'd like to happen is to generate pretty covers based on ebook metadata (title and author) similar to what Calibre GUI does.
