Calibre Book Jacket Editor

Rellwood · 04-08-2017, 01:34 AM

I hate to say this, but the book jackets that Calibre adds when polishing books are really ugly. I would very much like it if someone would create a plugin that would allow the user to edit how the jackets are shown. If there was a way to set the font and paragraph style as well as which metadata is used or even the layout style I actually keep the jackets rather than remove them because they look nothing like what I would like.

You can change the jacket by editing the files in this folder Calibre\resources\jacket if you want the changes to be persistent with calibre updates. You should copy the jacket folder to resources folder in the calibre settings.

Ah, I didn't realize that I could go into the resources. I was hoping for a plugin like the cover modifier. But, I will look and see what I can do to change it.

Thanks
