Pinecone · 12-30-2014, 05:20 AM

I copied my database to a laptop. Installed Cailbre and then copied over my copy of Calibre (with custom columns and such). Pointed Calibre at the database.

Everything works EXCEPT, no covers are shown. The covers exist in the folders of the database, but Calibre does not show them. All the metadata shows up, and the series and other grouping shows up, just not the covers.

I can no longer find the Restore or Rebuild database option. Where they are supposed to exist (one is Preferences-> Advanced, another is Right Click Calibre icon) there are no such option.

Thanks.
