But thanks for your time and effort to help me.

Kind greetings,

@ghappe - Don't do any editing before the cover issue is resolved, copy a subset of what you have and work with that - a dozen books is probably enough.

calibre has 3.5 million active users, if any of them had this issue when they first built their libraries then they probably solved it via the existing facilities and some scripts. If anyone solved it with a PI it would have been a one-off hack peculiar to their environment that they possibly threw away.

The command line option theducks suggested is the what I suspect other people used within a script/batch file.

Can your media manager software inject 'your' covers into the epubs?
