Yes, I know.
But it'd be nice to have a just-push-a-button solution that could do al my fixes at once. I'm just lazy like that
You could ask Kovid for an "add cover to ToC" option in the conversion. Or is there already one? I can't check at the moment.

And just for reference, if I decide to put the cover page in the ToC, I add a heading to the page and use a style that has "display:none" as one of the attributes. That way it gets picked up by the automatic ToC generation tool.

But, I can never decide whether to use the title of the book, or "Cover" for the heading. If the book already has a ToC entry pointing the the cover, I use whatever it uses, but otherwise, it depends on my mood.

And finally, "I'm just lazy like that" to. I do have my own plugin that does changes like this (not this particular change, but I might add it). It's not something that I will distribute as all the changes it makes are hard-coded, specific to the source of the books (eg books downloaded using the FanFicFare plugin) and specific to me. It's not hard to do, but, you need to know Python and have some understanding of the calibre code.

It's your lucky day Jon. The Modify ePub plugin already has three cover options!!!!

Yes, I'm being facetious, but you really need to make it clear what you want.

hat I would like is for Modify ePub to check the NCX ToC and see if the cover is the first entry and if not, add the cover as the first ToC entry.

I'm trying to do the opposite: remove the cover TOC entry if it exists

Why? That's one of the things that bugs me about Kindles (not showing the cover when you first open the book).

And that's what you should have said. Because, based on the previous posts, I thought you were asking for something different.

Probably because Terisa is annoyed by being forced to see a page that she doesn't want to see. Just like you don't want to be forced to see a ToC page.

And no, I don't want to get into an argument about the usefulness of any of these pages. It is purely a matter of personal preference.

Well, if a mod can be made to add in the Cover to the ToC, it should be not too hard to remove such.

It's not hard, but complicated to do when you don't know very well how to handle the structures for parsing elements... And don't have a lot of time

I think I haven't explained myself. I don't want to remove the cover, that it's the first page and the first thing I see when I open the book. I want to remove the entry in the TOC. I don't want the cover as an entry in an index.

If you remove the cover from the ToC, then you don't see the cover when you open the ePub for the first time.

But on my EPUB devices. I see the cover first.

With a Kobo ePub starts at the first entry in the NCX ToC.
