Quick question first, is the above correct or should it read "The original cover will not be replaced if it
is correctly identified as a cover in the opf file".
As far as I can tell looking at the epubs that I have edited, the covers are correctly identified in epub 3.0 ebooks using:
Code:
<item id="cover-image" href="../Images/cover.jpg" media-type="image/jpeg" properties="cover-image"/>
For epub 2.0 ebooks, the boilerplate I use for cover images is two lines:
Code:
<item id="cover" href="cover.jpg" media-type="image/jpeg">
<meta name="cover" content="cover"/>
While I could understand this behaviour when a different cover image is being inserted, it seems rather pointless when the inserted cover image is a copy of the existing cover image.
Apart from anything else, adding a OEBPS directory inside an existing OEBPS directory is, to me, a rather odd thing to do.
