calibre ebook-meta adds unwanted cover

I have EPUBs generated from txt files. When I add/correct the meta of author/title with ebook-meta an image is also generated and added to the file. This is an image of the first x text lines of the book.
I do not want that image but do not see any option for that in the ebook-meta CLI options (https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/gen...a.html#options).
Calibre > Preferences > Output options > EPUB output > No default cover: is checked

Using ebook-meta.exe in a bat file this generates that image
Quote:
"...\ebook-meta.exe" "%~1" --authors %author% --title %title%
this plus variations: fails with FileNotFoundError and does nothing to meta
Quote:
"...\ebook-meta.exe" "%~1" --authors %author% --title %title% --cover ""
Is there a way to prevent generating the text image cover and if so how?
