Of course the one thing it doesn't do is change the cover page SVG but I can live with that... I can do a "resize cover" as the first thing I do on new books before I edit them.
Or do what I do, use another plug in, I use an ancient modify epub one, as a final step, with replace cover ticked. I use that step to also fix up toc if i have removed any unwanted front or back blurbs.
Actually that's my last but one step. Last is to run count pages. If I ,later on, see an entry in page count, I know I did all my steps
