Minimum cover size to download

Feature/tweak request (unless I'm missing something and there is already a way to do this):

It would be great to be able to specify a minimum cover size to download

Thanks!

When bulk downloading calibre uses the largest available cover size automatically anyway (subject to the priorities you set for different metadata sources).

I understand. But I'd prefer not to have image files less than, say, 300x400 pixels stored because I find I can almost always find something better with a Google image search.

Two ideas come to mind.

1. Don't download covers in bulk.

or

2. If you do download covers in bulk use the Quality Check plugin to search for covers smaller than x/x and tag those books for searching in Google when you have time.
