set the cover for the book from....batch

Is there a way to do this in batch, because I imported many books with "read meta data only from file", and now it seems that I have to set the covers all by hand?

  • Find the books without a cover using cover:false
  • Highlight them
  • Right click and select "Edit metadata|Download only covers"
  • Wait.

I already did, but there are many books without found covers, so I just want to use the existing from file.

Inside the pdf, like it does on regular import and you can do it at individually metadata edit when you click on the book icon.
