ebook-convert settings problem
Hello everyone, I already apologize for the question, but I could not find any information about it.
I tried to convert, via the command line, an ebook in .epub format to a .mobi caliber format, inserting options, but they don't seem to work. I would like to have the first image removed from the file during the conversion and then inserted the one from the metadata. The command I entered is this: Code:
ebook-convert file_name.epub file_name.mobi --remove-first-image --prefer-metadata-cover Thanks in advance for the help. |

Why would you remove the cover and convert to Mobi when you should be converting to KF8 and keeping the cover?

The problem is that through GUI I can do this, but not through the command line.
This doesn't work for any conversion I've tried, even converting to .azw3 format, but it doesn't change. ![]() |

I've never tried to replace the cover from the command line. I don't know if it can be done. But I see no problem doing this from the GUI. |

Add -vv to the conversion and you will see exactly what options it is running with and you can compare it to the log from the GUI conversion to check.
