Exclamation EPUB Double Cover Issue

Hi! Thanks for the awesome plugin. However, I'm encountering an issue when converting an EPUB to KFX. After the conversion, there are two cover pages in the book. Is there a way to fix this?

Try selecting the option "Use cover from source file" in the Metadata tab of the conversion dialog. If that fixes the problem then it was caused by calibre leaving the original cover behind when attempting to replace it with a new one. If that does not do it then posting a conversion log may help with diagnosing the cause of the problem.

I've resolved the issue by selecting the "Mark as cover page" option in the Edit Book menu and applying it to the actual page that contains the book cover.

Version 2.10.0 - 20 Sep 2024

Detect Kindle Previewer versions up to 3.87.0.

Report the minimum Kindle firmware version (min_kindle_version) required to render the file produced based on the KFX features it contains in the Metadata section of the conversion log.

Improve reporting in the conversion log when a conversion is terminated because it took to long to complete.

Look for both "wine64" and "wine" executables when running under Linux.

Thank you for the update!
Could be possible by any chance to implement the change I was proposing in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...ostcount=1556?

It is a minor thing actually but could help to not clutter the system and keep wine apps organized. That would be to have a dialog to specify the actual location of the chosen WINEPREFIX for Kindle Previewer.


Thanks again!
