Problem with Coverflow - multiple identical covers!
I have just installed Calibre and I'm new to it. I added a many books and two News items. One news item appears in Coverflow as one cover, and the other appears as multiple identical covers, which I don't want.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Also, when I initially set up the news items I set frequency and time of updates, etc. I can't find how to get back to these settings to review or edit them. Does anyone know how? Thank you for any suggestions. |

Thank you for your suggestions, Starson17.
Of the News items I've installed both one is a newspaper and it shows a single generic cover, the other News item is a magazine and it shows the the actual cover that appears on the magazine, varying correctly from issue to issue. The problem is that it shows so many covers in Coverflow that it is threatening to outnumber all my other books. I want a single issue to be represented by one cover in Coverflow. I compared the tags of the newspaper and the magazine hoping that something in the tags would account for one item showing multiple covers and the other showing just one cover, but I couldn't see a difference. Which setting controls how many covers are shown?? |

If you add a book and it has no cover a plain brown cover will be a temp place holder until you add a cover. You might want to look at the Generate cover plugin. Starson17 might be able to guide you through setting a cover manually in your recipes. Good Luck. |
