How to set a cover for KUAL?

Patches welcome to update that bit of code, because I think someone mentioned it to me in a PM, and I had completely forgotten about it ;o).

(As should be painfully obvious, I also don't really have time to deal with it anyway ^p^).

Here you go!
Just a cheap and quick extension to set and unset the cover for KUAL.
As always, look through the shell script files and see what they're actually doing, use at your own risk.

Basically just copies this image (already in the zip) to /mnt/us/system/thumbnails/ and applies that thumbnail path to ALL of the records (you likely just have 1) that have files ending in .kual, in cc.db.

Reboots after the operation, to refresh the library to get the cover to show.
I'm sure there's a better way to do that that rebooting, so if anyone knows - tell me please!
Thanks for the great extension, cearp! This is exactly what I have been looking for. Here is a cover I made that I am using right now.

making a little update
1)Upscaled KUAL image to 1012x1320
2)now scripts using thumbnail_kual_portrait.jpg from kualcoversetter folder(no more moving file in system/thumbnails/)

just put kualcoversetter folder to extensions
I applied it on my KOA3 and it doesn't seem to work, do you have any idea why?

I checked in cc.db and the change has been made but somehow the thumbnail doesn't appear in the library.

Thank you for good picture!

Today I have modified your extension to set skins for both KUAL and KOL. Now no reboot needed (image change after exit from KUAL), and image not deleted from extention folder after delete KUAL/KOL cover. Tested on my PW5.

Just wanted to thank cearp for this excellent extension, Stanner for the KO Reader mod, and Freshmaker for the lovely KUAL thumbnail. Makes things much more aesthetically pleasing.

Very welcome, nice to see a community work together, even if it is such a small thing!

I would also just like to say a quick thank you to everyone who contributed!
I finally got around to applying this today and it's made a huge difference.
