Save to Disk (all cover images?)

Glottis · 07-14-2020, 06:07 AM

Okay, this should possibly be in the Device forum but I think it fits better here.

I've recently begun using an android device and while syncing seems to work fine (...now) with everything being placed in their proper folders, it doesn't send any of the covers as separate images.

The reason I want these images to be sent is so I can set them as the lockscreen image when I'm reading that book.

Is there a way of having calibre backup all cover images to a file (with the proper file names) without manually saving each one?

I dont recall there being a builtin function for this. You can just do a normal save to disk in a single folder, delete all non-cover files in windows explorer or whatever and use the leftover cover files.

Hah, well that's a really obvious workaround. Suddenly feeling rather dumb, thanks
