I have a jpg that I'd like to use, and I can use the editor to insert it

If I have no catalog, then it would seem that 'Use Existing Cover' wouldn't work

I thought that's what the purpose of DefaultCover.jpg was in the
C:\Program Files\Calibre2\resources\catalog folder

More experimenting -- It seems that IF I already have a catalog AND the 'Reuse' option is selected AND I generate another with the same name THEN the cover is re-used.

I still don't understand what DefaultCover.jpg is for, if it's not used when there is no existing catalog
