Hi,

I have Calibre Portable Version Installed in WINDOWS & due to last month update, by mistake my Antivirus Kaspersky was ON, due to which after the update, when Calibre Portable Restarted, my Book Covers got DISAPPEARED in LAYOUT - COVER GRID View?

Book covers are available in Calibre Library in Induvial Books folder, but not showing in Calibre COVER GRID View. Latest Version of Calbre got Updated today, but still issue exist.

Please help to get this issue resolved, screenshot attached below for reference.

Hye CHALEY,

Sorry for late Reply, I lost my credentials.

I have tried this fix today, as well as thois FIX as well...its not working for me.... "When calibre is not running, delete the cache folder AppData/Local/calibre-cache/gui-thumbnail-cache"

Please help to resolve this issue

Ahh, you are running calibre portable. Delete "Calibre Settings\caches" in wherever you installed calibre portable.

You might also want to update calibre. Version 7.7 is quite old.

Well, I'm out of ideas other than you check that the covers are JPG files. Perhaps someone else can help.

Update to the current calibre version which is 8.8 not 7.7 then run calibre in debug mode and post the log by right cicking the preferences button and choosing restart in debug mode.
