Specify Cover in HTML

FriedGopher · 01-15-2014, 11:55 PM

Is there a way to specify a cover image in the HTML file so that Caliber will recognize it as part of the metadata when the book is imported?

I often have to delete my book from Calibre and re-import it and it's a pain to have to edit the metadata in the GUI to specify the cover image each time.

Whya re you deleting and re-importing. If all you want to do is update the HTML file, right click the add books button and choose add files to selected book records or drag and drop the html file onto the book details panel.

Thanks.

I was under the impression that I had to remove and re-add it in order for the class conversions and additional HTML to take effect.

I take it that the answer to my original question is No.
