Generate cover options

How do I add covers that I have downloaded from here to the options?

@bulldogmo - either drag-drop them into the book details panel, or add/update via Edit Metadata->Change cover->Browse, or if cover is in a format file, select format file in the Edit Metadata->format files box and click the cover icon (top left).

@ Kovid: the Edit Metadata format files box lacks a title - I would have sworn it had "Format files" in an earlier version.

FWIW 'Generate Cover' (builtin, button in MDE) and Generate a Custom cover (the PI) are for creating USER covers.
BR figured out you were trying to import a cover in the case Calibre search did not find one or found the wrong one (or too modern of a version for those of us matching covers on our dead tree bookshelf

)

Thank you, actually I found the cover generator plugin. The reason is I have a bunch of short stories that fit in between the main novels that just don't have any covers.

Thank you again for all the help.
