There could be one, but the fact that cover.jpg appears under the virtual 'Images' folder only means that Sigil knows that cover.jpg is an image.

The tooltip, when hovering over a file, shows the actual file path within an epub's archive. You can also set the full path of all files to always show in Book Browser in Sigil's preferences. Doing so can help to reinforce the idea that Book Browser is a representation of an epub's various file-types and is not necessarily indicative of its internal folder structure.
Thanks for the information - I'm still learning my way with Sigil so things like this will stump me. What was confusing me was that it appeared to work fine with one book and not another and I couldn't work out why that should be so.

So either mousing over both to see their path or turning on full paths in Sigil Preferences will do that for you.

But why not let Sigil handle all of that by using the Add Cover, Insert Image, Insert Link, Insert Style tools to automate that process for you.
Yes, in future I will just use the Add Cover option to create the cover page. I had not spotted that in the menu - still discovering things.

Thanks for everyone's help.
