DrChiper · 06-15-2015, 05:21 AM

For a missing book in one of my series, I created a dummy entry. Now I did manage to find and include that missing book at last.

However, the metadata still shows the calibre generated cover, not the cover of the freshly added book. The refreshing metadata feature works from the existing metadata towards the book. But is there also a feature to update the metadata (in particular the cover file) from the book towards the calibre metadata?

At the moment I manually extract the cover in the calibre directory (which is certainly not the intended way), but surely, there is a better manner which I missed.

Any pointers?
