Does author_avatar_cover:true override generate_cover_settings?
I'm trying to get the generate cover plugin to generate a cover using the author's avatar as an image, adding the title and author around it, since it's more interesting than my current default of using the site icon as the centerpiece, but I can't seem to get it to work, unless I just manually go and do it afterwards.

TBH, I'd completely forgotten that author_avatar_cover setting existed, so I have to go read code.

Okay, defaults.ini specifically has author_avatar_cover:false under [base_xenforoforum].

So you have to turn it on in personal.ini for [base_xenforoforum], or more specific (it won't work in [defaults]):

Code:

[base_xenforoforum]
author_avatar_cover:true

## or for the story url specifically

author_avatar_cover:true

Beyond that, the cover generation system has grown hopelessly complex and I don't remember most of it. See the Cover Settings Calibre Plugin wiki page.
