I think finally we are getting somewhere, at least we are not talking past each other.
@duck:
I am aware of the override switches and used '--no-default-epub-cover' first. But I like to see the title, at least, on the cover page so am trying to still use a cover, but not the Calibre (6 books) default cover.
I first looked what could be done via the 'Generate cover' PI but did not find any way. Then, or at the same time, I looked at the 'Edit Metadata Generate cover' but did not like that either.
I then tried to backtrack, deleted the 'Generate cover' PI, and then intended to modify the image which Calibre uses for its default cover. First step was to use the (6 book) default cover and go from there. My problem is that I cannot get the default cover any more. My hunch is there is a bug somewhere but I cannot say yet where, if at all.
I did already, what I thought was, a clean install and even there started out with 'Edit Metadata Generate covers'. Obviously I have to be more careful, since apparently it was not clean enough.
@BR:
Ref.: BTW1: Not to have the script in the Calibre folder was my first change to the script. I noticed right away, too, that I lose it with every update, doesn't even have to be clean re-install.
Ref.: BTW2: I had hoped since I got the impression that 'from now on' a certain cover would be used as the default.
Don't know yet about making a formal request.
===================
Anyway my next step is going to be to strip the script to the bare minimum (might even post it) and then start with a
guaranteed clean Calibre installs and see what happens.
Since 'Generate cover' PI (too bad they both have the same name
) seems to be out of the picture I am not sure this is the right thread any more.
