@dwig - what do you mean by calibre 'cleaning house', are you implying calibre will lose data on a whim, that's never happened to me over the past four years on four libraries totalling 130+K books.
The problem with relying on the original omnibus book, is that you have to first find the omnibus book, then find the right image within it etc, etc.
I break out articles from composite journals and store them as individual books almost every day, there's often a picture I can use to create a cover, if not I filch one from somewhere. I find it much easier to keep a copy of the picture with the article as a JNG, then should I want to redo the cover I can convert it and save it as cover.jpg via the View a specific format tool and then fire up the Generate cover PI - all with the same book selected, without ever leaving the book list - i.e. no undercover skulduggery or faffing around finding the original composite journal.
The extra resources used in storage and backup processing aren't worth saving, on the other hand my time is a finite resource, relatively and absolutely, so it always trumps a few megabytes and processor cycles :lol:
