There seems to be more action here than in the Editor sub-forum, hence my question. I'm editing a new book that contains and identifies cover.jpg but there is no reference to it. Selecting Tools => Add a cover, points to the image but then what? Do I create an empty file, i.e., text/cover.html? Then what?

Calibre's manual on the subject is meaningless to me:

This allows you to either choose an existing image in the book as the cover or import a new image into the book and make it the cover. When editing EPUB files, the HTML wrapper for the cover is automatically generated.

When the exising image file is selected, nothing is automatically generated. I'm sure I am missing something but it is not obvious to me.
