FFDL has several options for covers. As you've seen, it can use covers from the site the story came from. There's also a personal.ini config parameter to set default cover images:
Does that help? |
Sorry for the late reply.
You were correct, I was editing the metadata in calibre but it wasn't adding to the file itself.
And now it's perfect, that was exactly what I was looking for, your personal.ini config parameters. I do also like the Polish Book action,
but the cover's aspect ratio isn't being maintained so some of these covers look pretty bad.
Okay, so I went through my Preferences -> Output Options and checked "Preserve cover aspect ratio".
I swear I had it on already but evidently not. I had it set to preserve the cover aspect ratio in Convert -> Output only, not in Preferences. Whoops.
(Interesting side note, the aspect ratio does stay the same but now the cover is in the center of the page instead of at the top of the page. Neat.)
Anyway, I left my mistakes and fixes in this post just on the small chance my mistakes can help a lurker out of a similar goof.
Thanks for all your help Jimm, it is appreciated.
