@AbyssalAriel,

I think have a handle on what's going on.

First, as previously mentioned, you should probably have Update EPUB Cover when Updating EPUB? checked all the time, otherwise FFF applies never_make_cover:true.

Second, on the Calibre Cover tab, I'd uncheck Inject/update the cover inside EPUB.

The Generate Calibre Cover: Yes, unless FanficFare found a cover image setting means any cover image found inside the epub. Including the one FFF injected on the previous run.

Since FFF has no way of knowing the difference between a generated cover and one lovingly hand crafted by the user, it treats both the same.

This is indicated by the metadata entry cover_image. You have to use generate_cover_settings settings instead of the GUI if want to use different values rather than simply 'has cover_image or not'. See defaults.ini.

Code:

  cover_image can be:
## specific -- The site has an image that is specifically this story's cover
## first -- The first image in the story or story desc is used as cover
## default -- A default_cover_image was used
## old -- There was already a cover image in the epub.

Calibre automatically injects the cover on Convert. I was sure it also did so on Send to device and Save to file, but now that I test those, I'm not seeing that behavior...
