content.opf cover metadata is not used for selecting the thumbnail image? #41

Is it so that metadata information is not used to select the correct cover image?

With some epub files DarnkThumbs selects some other file for the thumbnail.

The epub support tries to use the metadata to select the cover image. If DarkThumbs fails to parse the metadata for whatever reason, the code will then select the first image found in the archive.

I've already found several situations where extra work is required to decipher the metadata to get the "correct" cover.

Without a couple of sample epubs that show the problem, I won't be able to investigate this.
