Sigil Metadata Made Easy

Assuming your cover image is named "cover.jpg", the Sigil-generated .opf file always includes the following in the manifest (AFAICT):

<item id="cover.jpg" href="Images/cover.jpg" media-type="image/jpeg"/>

So, you don't have to worry about renaming anything in the manifest or scanning it to find the right id, just paste the following in the "Meta" head:

<meta name="cover" content="cover.jpg"/>

This line should always match the id in the manifest, and will tell iTunes to behave properly.

Save it, copy and paste it, and be sure to re-zip correctly.

Good Luck!
