MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Cover in ADE is first page, and not according to metatag set in content.opf?

I'm sorry if this is one of those questions that is asked repeatedly - I did do a search and could not find anything.

Am I correct that Adobe Digital Editions uses whatever is set as the first page in the spine section of content.opf as the cover, even if an image on a different page is set as the cover image using a metatag?

In content.opf I have

<meta name="cover" content="coverimage" />

(The values for "name" and "content" are correct, I checked, and it works when viewed on an iPad)

A different page is set to open first in the spine section - that also works.

But when viewed in ADE, the first page in spine is chosen as the cover. That's normal, right?
