Super quick questions.
Hey everyone, two very quick questions.

1) When saving an epub, there is the cover that I have downloaded, as well as the original cover. How would I remove the original cover from the book?

2) There was a plugin or tweak that I once had that displayed the height x width of an image n the Calibre main window, but I can't remember for the life of me what it was or how to do this.

Anyone care to assist? Thanks!

Number 2 I answered for myself by going into the 'Preferences/Look and Feel/Book Details' and selecting 'Show Cover Size'.

Thank you anyway, I'm sure someone would have offered me their assistance eventually.

Modify EPUB PI: Replace Metadata Jacket (assumes cover DECLARED and is in the Jacket)

Tweak Epub (T): replace the image file with one of the EXACT (case) same name

Otherwise convert:

In theory you don't need to do anything. Using any of several methods for exporting most books from calibre should also embed the current metadata, including cover into the book. So using the Send to Device, Save to disk, email, or the content server should embed all metadata and the cover in ePub, mobi and azw books.

If for some reason you find that this doesn't work for you then using the Modify ePub plugin, Polish books feature or converting the file will also insert the cover in the book.
