Perhaps re-reading the message immediately above your response might help. Heck, @jhowell even gave you the workaround to not have calibre replace the cover image.

Oddly the same advice was given in @jhowell's response to your post in the thread they linked to:

There is a recent thread somewhat related to this: giude item "cover" displayed as "Title page"

Avoid replacing the original cover in the book to prevent the change of the file name during conversion. In the metadata tab of the conversion options select "Use cover from source file".
Are you hoping to get a different answer by asking the same question multiple times?
