My books covers are messed up! What am I doing wrong?


Issue #1

When scrolling through the library, the little picture in the lower Left hand corner is incorrect. It is also incorrect if I double click and browse in the larger view. However, when I open "edit Meta Information" my covers are correct.

I have tried restarting Calibre, clicking on the "book" and update in the edit Meta Information. If I reconvert (to epub and/or lit) the correct cover will be present after I hit save. But as soon as I move to another book it returns to the incorrect cover.

I have also verified the correct cover is in the Calibre library folder.

Issue #2

My library disappeared last night and I learned I had not included covers in the back up's. How do I back up my library with all metadata and covers? I have been using "Save to Disk" in a single directory but the covers are not there. What about the metadata db file Calibre uses, it there any way to also automatically include that in a backup?

Fortunately, I was able to restore by library by using the "previous version" in windows.

Don't know if it matters but the cover issue was present prior to the restoring of the library. It is just much worse now.

Thank you!
