That did the job. That command did not produce any feedback in Terminal, but a few hours later I tested, and it worked. Thanks.
I haven't checked your documentation to see if this command is there. This will be very useful to me. I'll want to create an epub version of any book I have - and bookmark your sites in case I ever upgrade my computer. Thanks again. |

Great to hear!
Another feature of the spotlight plugin is that if you do a "Get Info" on an epub file in the Finder, the "More Info" section shows a couple of fields like the author and publisher. |

@Chrisridd
I've seen that, on GitHub, you've had the same issue I experienced in Yosemite 10.10.2 : Covers are not shown on a quicklook preview, though they appeared in the custom finder preview. Do you think we can expect an update ? |

There are a few comments in the Apple developer forums complaining about similar QuickLook issues in 10.10.2 so it may be an OS bug that we need to wait to be fixed. However, I've got a workaround which avoids using an attachment image. I'll see if Jake (the original author, he builds the releases) thinks it is a good idea. |

it'a strange behavior because, I have a plugin for .mobi, and he displays the cover, though this one is smaller than original and has a bended corner. The epub plugin only displays a gray rectangle named cover image.
That's me who have posted the previous message (I never remember which is ma username in this forum ... |

That is interesting! Is that plugin open source?
If you want a build from my github branch with my workaround, please send me a private message. I haven't heard from Jake yet. Last edited by chrisridd; 02-18-2015 at 02:50 AM. |

There is a new release today (v1.7) that includes my workaround.
