Hi,
thank you for your replies.

> Works for me in calibre 9.6 on Windows 10.
yes, I get the feeling I have done something and not realised what...

> First thing I'd try is to restore the regex to what it was
I tried using the regex you supplied and a range of others I have in my dropdown options none of which made any difference to the book cover creation.

> How do you do the add
From windows explorer, drag onto the main calibre window

> Is the Read Metadata from Contents Ticked
No, BUT, when I do check this, the book thumbnail is generated, but then the title / author is not right

If I click on restore defaults, the "Read Metadata from Contents" is enabled - does this mean that I was using this until I changed the regex? If this is the case, is it possible to read the metadate for the book cover then use the regex for everything else?

thank you.
