Hi folks - I love the automatic cover generation on importing a book as it helps visually recognize the book from within Calibre and in Calibre companion.

On the other hand, I keep my Calibre ebooks library in dropbox which indexes EVERY PHOTO in EVERY FOLDER. Because I use Dropbox for photo management, I get the covers in the dropbox-generated photo library which I do NOT want.

I have searched high and low to find a way of restricting dropbox to only search for photos in certain folders but have had no luck so far. Is there any solution within Calibre for the first page of the book to be displayed as the cover without the generation of a cover.jpg file?

Thanks (and if anyone has any tips about dropbox's handling of photos, i'd love to hear it).
