You need to embed the image into the book,
Edit the <img src line and edit the Manifest, or you could use an editor like Sigil.
BTW you do NOT need to convert to update the jacket in the Library copy. Polish or Modify EPUB (PI) will do that without touching other parts of the book.

theducks I'm sure you believe you understood what you think I wrote, but I am not sure you realize what you read is not what I meant.
I can put pictures into comments, from the 'net and from a local file
Here's a picture from the 'net you can try, put the following into an empty Comments
Code:
<div>
<p>from Alexander Turcic's calibre post</p>
<img src="https://www2.mobileread.com/upload/news/2013-07/gui.jpg" alt="Cover MB" width="400" height="300">
</div>
I see the picture in Comments in Book Details - but when I convert the book with
Structure Detection_>Insert metadata checked I do NOT see the picture in the jacket - as I said, it sort of makes sense.
To use a local picture use
file:///<path> - note the triple slash, and make sure its a valid URI - i.e. substitute %20 for space etc - see previous post for sample
I see the picture in Comments in Book Details - and when I convert the book with
Structure Detection_>Insert metadata checked I see the picture in the jacket
But on looking closer - I see that the image is not actually embedded in the book - the book references the original file - delete the file or send/copy the book to a device and you won't see it in the jacket
So whilst you can put pictures in Comments, the pictures will not be copied into the book - which was what the OP said in the first instance - I think
