Update book cover after changing it.
I'm probably overlooking this but I don't mess with Metadata anymore. So I'm lost.

I was given some free books through instafreebie they are missing covers. So I use "edit book" to assign the cover which is already in the file. However I can't figure out how to get the new cover to show in Calibre's cover preview. How do I get Calibre to update its cover to match the epub file's new cover?

I use the Polish Books option. Not sure if the Embed Metadata option would work as well!

You may need to go into Preferences->Toolbars and select the appropriate toolbar and then add these options as I do not believe they are there by default.

What do I check in Polish book? I tried the cover option it didn't work. Calibre still has no cover. I want it to have the book's cover.

Here's what I'm doing:

I import the book with no cover
I click edit book
I click tools\ add cover
Select the cover from list
Click save book

The new cover is not updated in Calibre
When I open the book the new cover shows there but not in Calibre's little preview on the right side of the program. How do I get it to match?
