Cover Images Missing After Restore

boh_1 · 08-10-2017, 10:32 PM

I had to nuke my Calibre Library metadata files and settings due to the dreaded Python error on startup (Calibre 3.6 + Windows 10).

I manged to get around the error and restored my database from a backup. But now Calibre doesn't display any of my covers. The files are still there with the books, but is there any way to force Calibre to re-scan these files? The rest the book metadata is displaying fine, just not the covers.

Any ideas?

Problem solved. I just needed to run the restore database process and all is now good.

A bit of RTFM on my part, but Calibre ain't as simple as it used to be - I'm always finding new goodies.
