Maverynthia,
Huh that is kind of odd because I was just using the Search the Internet plugin to look up a few covers yesterday. That plugin searched Google for images without issue so the two plugins must submit different requests to Google. I have not previously used Google Image Search.


Theducks,
The default calibre values listed under Metadata Download are:
Max time to wait after first match is found: 30
Max time to wait after first cover is found: 60
Which exceed your 5 sec suggestion. So unless the timing under Behaviour has been altered (decreased) they should suffice.


Kovid,
I just (re-)noticed that once you set a cover there is no way to delete it, returning to a null state. Can a "Delete Cover" function be added to the context menu of the cover image portion of the Edit Metadata dialog? Or is there some other method to return to a cover=null state?

I know on a few occasions I've discovered I've made an error with the cover image (different ISBN's cover usually) and I would prefer to have no image rather than a wrong image. Searching for cover:false is possible, cover:inappropriate is not.
