I did try one setting change and it used the image in the story as the cover art, but once I replaced the cover with a cover of my own choosing, it also updated the author's artwork to use cover.jpg.

P.S. to be clear I used the plugin "Generate Cover" to update the Cover of the story. It replaced the cover and the embedded artwork with the "cover" image. that did not used to happen. It used to be "Generate Cover" only updated the cover, not any other images.

p.s. part 2 - I found a story with multiple pieces of artwork and it seems like only the 1st image was replaced with "cover.jpg" the rest of the images were not updated. For now, I'll just edit the epub to use the correct image file. I'll have to do a lot more testing.

Again, I'd appreciate any and all help in figuring this out.

Thanks,
Amalthia
