(Set 'Default' back to blank under Generate Cover Settings to not generate covers for all books.)
That gets it working for new downloads.
However, on updates, the value of
cover_image is now 'old', which doesn't match your 'with image' setting. Adding 'old' to that pattern makes it work.
But! If you also check "Inject/update the cover inside EPUB", then the generated cover
will be the old cover next time and now you have nested cover images.
Ways around that: 1) Use "Generate Covers Only for New Books" or 2) Don't "Inject/update the cover inside EPUB", leaving the original cover inside the epub--Calibre will automatically update the cover when saving/sending to a device (but not inject where there isn't one already?)
Anyway, I think I've said before covers are a bit of a mess.
