Repeat

Finally: Add the REAL cover.Xhtml file
Add a Header (can be hidden or .0001pt high) if you want Sigil to generate a TOC


Alternate: the 'rolling cover add'

I do the Placement work sort of backwards

Add the LAST image as a cover. Tools:Add cover
In the file browser:
Rename the file to its real desired name (not cover)
Add Semantics: click Cover to remove the tick
Add the Next 'cover'
Repeat the above until done
I have to run out so will come back to this. Though not the sharpest tack when it comes to this stuff, it seems as if you're suggesting to 'trick' sigil into thinking all page images are covers....and that that would work. Am I correct? if so, that sounds like a great fix for someone like me who knows little code.

If I am correct, I'm a little confused by the last part of what you write:
