Admittedly, for a whole library I'd be looking for a scripted option. I have no idea why the covers are not there. |

I also see that it lacks an "Are you sure?" popup, and that the deleted covers are not put in the Trash/Recycle bin. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 11-11-2021 at 04:51 PM. |

Then they are not gone.
Hang on! Where are you looking.??????? 1) Cover browser (a pane with many covers the flip) 2) Metadata Details (the book icon in the lower corner activates) 3) Grid view (9 cubes icon) 4) Metadata editor window If they do not show on ANY of 1-4, then try and perform Library Maintenance:Rebuild ... This takes a bit of time, but way less than reconstruction |

Incidentally, Calibre's download of the covers has finished, and produced NO COVERS in the several that I looked at. It's individual download of covers, has worked well in the past. |

Pretty sure, this is not the first time someone has reported mass loss of cover images. IIRC on those occasions instructions were give on how to recover them from format files.
Until I read post #15 from theducks I didn't realise how easy it was to remove covers from books en-masse. What if the format files don't have embedded covers, I have a library of over a 1,000 letters that don't have the covers I made embedded in the format files. IMO the remove actions should have "Are you sure?" popups. And remove actions that don't move the files to the Rubbish Bin (such as Remove covers from selected books) should not have "Show this this again" checkboxes on those popups. BR |

Adding confirmation for remove covers is a good idea, done.
