There are 2 workarounds so it's not a big problem

One is to delete the file in magic_draw.py
and second is to reset the cover from metadata menu.

I'll try to see if it happens on local harddrive too

It's not about metadata it's about metadata & NAS

Mea culpa ( back-up was a wrong choic of word)

I shouldn't have used the word back-up, since what I've suggested is not.

Chaley I agree with most of your points

I do understand ( and I mentioned it in my previous letter) that Calibre is different from let's say Media Monkey, so I realize that motivation to keep database file and library in the same directory...
