cover button disappears

When I go into 'convert books' of calibre I see no bookcover button. I am always forced back to build 740 which seems to work well. I think it was build 742 when the button fled.

What button are you talking about? I see options to change the books cover on the metadata page of the conversion options.

Instead of going back to 0.7.40 you could consider scrolling down to see what is below the fold under the book cover (see attached). If you are talking about downloading or generating a cover then you have to go to the edit metadata window for that.

Wierd.

That is the "Browse" (for covers, in this context) button.
It is fine on XP
Is the "use covers from source" tick box just below the file name box?

So, everyting appears, including the input field and the checkbox, except for the button?

It's just that this is the second time it happened today... I usually open up the topics that interest me in tabs and go answer them, but I guess I'm just too slow today
