Can Calibre download multiple covers and let me pick the one I want?

Howdy,

If I use the Edit Metadata option and click to download covers, it seems to only show me one cover that I can choose from other than the current one on the book. Is there any way to have Calibre get multiple cover options form the various sources and show me a list of them so I can pick the one I want?

Thanks.

Under Preferences -> Metadata Download, see what Sources you have configured. Choose some additional ones.

If you use the MetaData EDITOR (the e key for access),
There is a Download covers Button on the page if you wish to skip the data fields.

You get a choice chosen from the configured sources.
You can also assign (cover) priority numbers to those sources (1,2,3...)

Another good way to find covers is the Search The Internet Plugin, and drag/copy Image and drop it into the details pane

Ah. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks.
