If still curious, I started with the default jacket template many years ago. Someone (and I even think at one point you helped some) created a more customized one for me. From these things I learned more about the code and setup and have customized it further in both fields included and formatting. The original table format with a white background wreaked havoc on my e-reader and eyes with a dark background. I've done away with that.

I use the Polish Book plug-in to add the jacket. It doesn't have an option as to where to put it, but by default it is at the beginning which I like for my uses. If, however, it occasionally mattered to me to place the jacket differently (or perhaps create a permanent file that won't change with metadata changes and polishing), I know how to make or move the jacket.html for that purpose.

P.S....jacket related QUESTION....Once upon a time, my series format for the jacket template was set as I wanted. Calibre updates happened, and the series format defaulted back to the Roman numerals. I went and fixed that setting, BUT the order of the format also changed. I cannot figure out how to get it to generate as: " MySeriesName 1 " rather than " 1 of MySeriesName " . So I get 1 of Lord of the Rings rather than Lords of the Rings 1.
Remember, this is an entry that only generates IF the data exist which is how I want it. The code ONLY has {series} yet generates an index before it. I haven't found anything to let me adjust this. Even if I add {series_index} after {series}, nothing happens...surprisingly.
Any knowledge on this? I can't even remember how it worked that way before older updates as the code from that older template was the same as now....
Sorry, my knowledge of formatting jackets is negligible, and as far as I can remember it's always been shown as "2 of Toads Hall", rather than "Toads Hall [2]".
