So to summarise, this is what we would have:
- Check for jacket - scans library for books that have at least one Calibre jacket, be it old style or new style
- Check for missing jacket - scans library for books that have no Calibre jacket of either style
- Check for multiple jackets - scans library for books that have more than one Calibre jacket (could be multiple of old style, or mix of new and old style)
- Remove selected jackets - works on the selected books to remove any Calibre jackets of either style
- Remove selected excess jackets - works on the selected books to remove all but the new Calibre jacket style
Do you see the holes? And are you happy with them or do we need to tweak the above...
- I find a book that has multiple jackets of the old style (only). How do I remove them? Should "Remove selected excess" in this situation try to keep one old style jacket? If so which one should it keep?
- I use check jackets and it tells me a book has a jacket (but it happens to be a legacy one). I later at some point do a conversion. Now the book will have two jackets. So I need to go back and rerun the check multiple jackets check, then run the remove selected excess jackets?
