The full story: I originally created these txt files with calibre from epub originals. I no longer have either the epubs or the opf files that calibre created. The ereader I used then, an iRiver StoryHD, used the standard directory tree structure to organize its files and made no use of the metadata at all. Unfortunately it died and I now have a Sony PRS300 which creates an elaborate database for file access from their metadata. For files that have no such metadata, the result is an indigestible mess.
Adding a 'Jacket' by conversion OR using Modify EPUB Plugin will update to what is the current Library View metadata
