Possibly I'm doing something wrong, but this still seems odd. I've been working on an epub in the calibre editor for some time now and today I just wanted to update the cover.

These were the steps I took - right clicked and selected "edit metadata individually," browsed for the new cover and added it, then clicked the polish books button, but with only the "update the cover in the book files" checkbox selected. No error messages or anything, but when I double clicked and opened the book in the reader, the cover was fine, but it's definitely reverted to a version from about two weeks ago with major changes missing.

Every time I made edits, I saved them and when I'd reopen the editor later, they'd be there. I updated calibre yesterday and today I did the polishing bit and those are the only things I did differently. So are my updates lost? Did I do something incorrectly?
