Quick question on the "Add metadata as book jacket page" option. I selected this but only some of the text from the comments section made it to the book jacket. I had a summary from meta data download. I copied blurb by the author from their website and that didn't show up. I tried to remove book jacket first and then add book jacket. Also, is there a tweak for adding custom column metadata to the book jacket. I looked through tweaks and didn't see anything.

Also, a suggestion on the option dialog for the plugin. Move Remove book jacket above Add so you can select both and the current book jacket will be removed and then re-generated and added. I'm assuming that the options are run in the order they are displayed in the dialog. I tried to select both options and ended up with no book jacket.

Thanks so much for the information and the fabulous software.

Update:
I did try to update metadata in the book using polish functions - clicked OK. Then tried to remove current book jacket - clicked OK. Then tried to add the book jacket from meta data and still my update to the comments section wasn't displayed. When I converted epub -> epub the updated comments were shown.

Update2:
Doing an epub to epub conversion didn't work for all books.

Update3:
- the book that didn't seem to be updated in my "update2" was PROBABLY because I had the EPUB file open in Sigil in the background and didn't realize it.
- It seems that if you ran a process on the book before and already have an original_epub file for it, the action from the polish book doesn't actual process if you have the setting for backing the file up. If I run the update metadata and remove book jacket in one process, remove the original epub version and then run the add book jacket things seem to work as expected.
