Update metadata without changing cover

senhal · 11-11-2017, 04:26 AM

Hi, I changed 2 default options in Calibre:
1) metadata aren't updated when opening a book with the editor
2) cover resized to 600x in order to have small jpgs in the archive, but not inside the books

Now I want to change the first option to update metadata inside the book, but I don't want to change the cover inside the book.
Is this possible?

EDIT: My "B plan": automatically change all cover.jpg in database with the covers inside ebooks. But how?

Select books: Tap 'E': (at the bottom) Set cover from ebook

Thanks! Is there a way to bulk set cover on more than a book?
