A question about New Feature #2.84

・Kindle driver: Also delete book thumbnails from the system directory when deleting books.

When you sync your kindle(e-ink kindle) with Calibre via Wireless connect, kindle always use side-loaded cache images for book covers.
After this update, how are book covers loaded?

This only applies to wired connections and it only delete thumbnails if you delete the book in question from the Kindle, using calibre. It basically prevents old, unused thumbnail files from cluttering up the Kindle.

Thanks for your quick reply.
so if I deleted the book using calibre from kindle and the next time I downloaded the book from calibre.server, It will not show the thumbnail. right?
Is there any option turn this new feature off?
Thanks for your effort and sorry for my bad english.

It would not in any case, since the downloaded file will not have the same filename as the previously transferred one.
