If you use library functions such as conversion, polish, modify, embed metadata, send to device and save to disk, some of them can take the file 'cover.jpg' in the book folder and put it into an epub (or other format files), wrap it in a barebones titlepage.xhtml, and update the content.opf file accordingly. Any subsequent customisation made within the ePub itself to the titlepage and/or the cover image are local to the ePub.

yep, that is pretty much what I concluded, and save html from in sigil does not work as that saves only the text. To get the exact text + image that I see within the omnibus it would have to be something open the book page in an epub viewer, screen grab, paste to paint , save as jpg., then use
make a cover.
doable with immense patience but not a good candidate for automation.
thanks for help with understanding it all though
