Hello all,

Currently, I want to add books to calibre with the title of the book as the file name and not from the metadata.

So I disable "preferences>adding books>read metadata from file contents rather than file name".

In the process of adding books, the first page of the pdfs is not exported as the cover of the book.

I wonder is there anyway to set the first page of the pdf as the cover, while disabling "read metadata from file".

Also assume that the pdf's metadata and cover page cannot be downloaded from the internet.

Thank you all,
mr. bean.
