Hi,
I tried to adapt but unfortunately get_metadata only returns the following fields correctly:
Title, Title sort, Author(s), Publisher, Tags , Series, Languages, Timestamp, Published
but no cover_data
Here is my code:
This overwrites the ebook file and works fine
Code:
self.gui.current_db.new_api.add_format(searchId, fmt, path, replace=True, run_hooks=True)
Then if I go to the ebook metadata GUI and press button "Set the cover for the book from the selected format" I can see the first pages of the new imported book.
But the cover is not updated from this list (default first page)
Code:
mi = self.gui.current_db.new_api.format_metadata(searchId, fmt, allow_cache=True, update_db=True)
OR
mi = self.gui.current_db.new_api.get_metadata(searchId, get_cover=True, get_user_categories=False, cover_as_data=True)
Printing the mi contents doesn't show any cover_data: only Title, Title sort, Author(s), Publisher, Tags , Series, Languages, Timestamp, Published
Code:
self.gui.current_db.new_api.set_cover({searchId, mi.cover_data[1]})
Fails with:

I think that the cover needs to be generated before being saved in a temporary file so I can send the buffer in the metadata cover field.
Unfortunately I've found no way to generate the cover at least page 1.
How can I force cover generation from a given book id and format ?
Thank you
