None

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

It would be nice to add an option in the "Cover" tab to pull the book image from the m4b/mp3 file. This can be accomplished with the command ffmpeg -i your-file.mp3 folder.jpg

Why would this be helpful?

Because of an error I performed (I disabled the option "Store covers with item", then deleted all the .jpg files, causing some books to lose images), I have to recreate the images. The images aren't missing from the books, but I ended up pulling fresh images from various sources.
