"Open cover with…" removed!

rkillings · 05-15-2017, 07:19 PM

Yikes! I just noticed that latest calibre update to version 2.85 has removed "Open cover with …" from the mouse-over popup on the cover image in the book details panel.

No doubt I will find the new command in its place, "Search the internet for this book …", useful on occasion, but I will miss single-click opening the cover in my default image editor *every time* I add a book to the library. I like to edit the chosen cover image for aspect ratio, size, borders and color corrections, and do this before polishing and converting ebook formats. This becomes appreciably more tedious if I have to open each containing folder and double-click on the cover.jpg file.

Please, can we have "Open cover with …" back? It was so useful.
