When opening an ePub file Sigil shows a dialog box:

Files exist in epub that are not listed in the manifest, they will be ignored

iTunesMetadata.plist
iTunesArtwork
iTunesMetadata-original.plist

There isn't anyway to stop this action. I can separately add a cover of course, but the issue is that the Apple book cover is removed.

Is Apple artwork not supported through Sigil?

After editing metadata and adding missing covers with Sigil, I can no longer see the covers when browsing a folder using the Files app on my iPad.

I assume that is because Sigil removed them. Is there some issue with Sigil only being able to support it's own covers and not Apple covers?
