Calibre Editor No Cover Icon

Foozle · 09-30-2021, 09:51 PM

For visual, see attached image.

In the left pane, showing the file list, in one of my projects it is not showing the blue cover icon after I have set the cover page and cover image.

As shown in the code, the page and image are set as the covers, yet no blue cover icon shows. However, in another project, they are shown (as seen in the lower left corner). They both have the same code to set the covers.

Is there a fix to make the icon show?

If they both have the same code they will both show covers. If one is not then there is something different about it. Figure out whatthat is and fix it. If I had to guess you have set the epub version of one to 2 and the other to 3.

They are both EPUB 3. I used the Upgrade Internals option to make them EPUB 3 before adding and editing the files. The codes are the same. I'll continue examining them, but I'm not sure what it could be.

SOLVED! Had a stupid metadata tag out of place! Silly.
