@Oldgeeza - try uninstalling Generate cover; you do that via Preferences ->plugins. and then reinstall it.

If that doesn't fix it (I suspect it won't - but its the least destructive option), then do this:

Uninstall the PI again ;
go to Preferences->Miscellaneous and click Open configuration directory;
in the plugins folder rename the file Generate Cover.json to SaveGenerate Cover.json
in the resources/images folder rename the generate_cover folder to Save_generate_cover
reinstall the plugin

That will give you a clean slate.

You can use the Save_generate_cover folder as the source for adding new images to the 'clean slate', then delete that folder.

You can use the SaveGenerate Cover.json file as an aide-memoire for reconfiguring Generate Cover. If you're on Windows you'll need a decent text editor to view the json file, Notepad's no use for this, I suggest Notepad++. When you've done delete SaveGenerate Cover.json.
