Calibre save to disk
hi
When I add or replace or trim the cover, calibre save the new cover in a separate file named cover.jpg.
But opening a file CBR/CBZ (and PDF/DOC obiovusly) with calibre viewer the new cover is not displayed.
I tried to "save to disk" in a single file and Calibre do it, but opening this file the cover is still the old cover.

Sorry for my english.

PDF and comics have no support for covers in the format. So you cant change them

I found this "simply" solution for comics:
- open the calibre folder of the comic book
- change file extension of the book from cbr/cbz in rar
- drag&drop file "cover.jpg" over file rar
- re-change file extension in cbr

It looks work

The first file (by name order) inside a CBR/CBZ is the cover on any reading app.
So you just need to change the file names to have the cover has the first file
Note: CBR is a RAR file / CBZ is a ZIP file

I slap a '!' at the front of the 'front cover', and an 'Ω' at the front of the 'back cover', if there is one. And, I have my archive utility (WinRAR) hooked to comic formats via Windows' Open With, which means its also available in Calibre via its built in Open With.
