I just dropped 6 books on Calibre and they all had the brown cover by default and I don't ever recall seeing it work any other way.

BetterRed was responding to my suggestion that perhaps the cover was not properly marked. Since you can extract the cover from Edit Metadata, I suspect that isn't the problem -- unless someone here can say that calibre will extract the first image regardless?

If it doesn't have a cover.xhtml or a cover.jpg then they're not properly marked and Calibre is not going to assume that the first jpg listed is the cover unless you tell it to assume that.

The actual name of the file internally is meaningless, it matters if the OPF semantically marks it as the cover.
And since Edit Metadata properly extracts it, I assume that is because it is marked correctly.
