Also note author and title will be always taken from the file name for solid archives that contain nothing but images.

Otherwise you'll have to drag 'n' drop the relevant image out of the archive to say your desktop, and then from there to the book details panel where I assume you see a brown cover. You probably wont be able to drag 'n' drop directly from the archive to the calibre book details panel.

Thanks for the reply. While your suggestion works for those in which the images are in the top level folder. It doesn't for the rest(i.e images located deeper than the top level folder)
btw the drag and drop actually works.
