I really like the ability to create a full-bleed cover (which the default generate scheme will not allow). However, I'm missing something about how this works....or I'm doing it in the wrong order.

I have a bunch of html files from which I want to create epubs. I have been using eboot-convert to batch file the conversion to epubs.
Then I open calibre, and 'add books'. At this point, there is no cover. I then generate the cover I want and each book gets its own title (some html poking required beforehand!).

BUT: the newly generated cover does not seem to get 'attached' to the file. I have been using 'convert books' in calibre to 're-convert' the books. This seems wrong, somehow. I seem to be missing something.

BTW, the generation portion works fine. I'm getting great covers, but a manual step seems to be required.
