Problem with cover extraction from .cbz files

sl33p3r · 12-05-2010, 12:23 PM

I just went through and added a ton (few 1000) of comics to Calibre. Most of the imports worked just fine, but there are many that did not extract the covers. If I delete and re-add the books with missing covers, Calibre gets the covers the 2nd time.

Is there a way that I can have Calibre go back and extract the missing covers.

I really do not want to delete and re-add all the comics that are missing covers.

Thanks...
Dave

you can always extract a cover from a given file by using the edit metadata dialog, click the button with the brown book on it.

Thanks, That is going to save me a lot of headache.

I guess I did not hover long enough over the button, and therefore never saw the balloon tip.
