Feature Request for Edit Metadata

This is my first post so hopefully I put it in the correct forum.

When editing metadata in bulk, there is a radio button for the cover labeled "Set from e-book files". I think it would be useful to have that capability in the "Edit metadata individually" dialog box as well.

I find myself having to cycle through new books editing them individually, then having to open them all in bulk to set the cover from the e-book file.

Thanks,

Jim

It's already there, hover your mouse over the top left icon where the formats are listed, you must select from which format file the cover is to be extracted.
