Is there a way to set a default size for the viewbox so I don't have to change to "0 0 450 600" in each ePub? Possibly set a default in a style.css setting?

You can save a template file in Sigil's directory called "cover.html" and it will use that when you press tools/add cover. (Try looking in this directory for windows: ...AppData\Local\sigil-ebook\sigil) You can design the template any way you wish, including the variables SGC_IMAGE_FILENAME, SGC_IMAGE_WIDTH and SGC_IMAGE_HEIGHT, but I use the following:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Cover</title>
</head>
<body style="margin:0; padding:0; text-align:center; background-color:black">
<h1 style="display:none" title="Cover"/>
<div style="margin:0; padding:0; text-align:center">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 SGC_IMAGE_WIDTH SGC_IMAGE_HEIGHT" width="100%" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<image height="SGC_IMAGE_HEIGHT" width="SGC_IMAGE_WIDTH" xlink:href="SGC_IMAGE_FILENAME"/>
</svg>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Cheers!
