Hi Kovid.
I add an ebook file to calibre, and in the process an OPF file and cover.jpg file get created. No doubt extracted from the single file added.
The problem occurs when I go to convert to other formats. Even though that cover.jpg file is there, it doesn't appear to get used, unless I browse to select it ... not unless you have changed something in that regard since v1.41.
I have been converting ebooks with calibre for years (hundreds of them no doubt), and some end up with a cover at the start of the ebook and some don't, unless I use the browse method ... even though presumably, the cover.jpg file came from somewhere (ebook file, not online).
P.S. You'd think, that if a cover exists in the original file, then that would naturally be in the converted ones, but I have found that not to be so on many occasions.
