My current saved images for bookcovers is not showing, but when I try to download the files again, they are not importing because the plugin says the file is already there. Newest version plugin and Calibre
Nevermind, the image folder in the appdata was empty after the recent updates,so I found the images and scooted them into the folder without manually entering them through the plugin. The plugin didn't "see" them but they were in the folder. Fixed it. Why did I lose all the covers in the first place, and is this going to happen again?

Turns out GC saves it's images in calibre\resources\images\generate_cover. And I think Calibre6 deleted calibre\resources\images when it stopped keeping its images there? Or else I removed it while testing the icons in themes changes. Probably should move that somewhere else if Calibre does remove it. I'm not seeing anything happen that "says the file is already there". Do you have any details? |

I asked Kovid in PM if cal6 ever deletes the contents of resources/images, he said, "yes, when migrating legacy icon themes. That is if you have a icon-theme.json in that folder."
So it makes sense that some of us (who didn't use icon themes in cal5) wouldn't see this issue. Since it's only while migrating, it shouldn't be an ongoing issue once you've switched to cal6. Changing where GC keeps its images is easy--migrating them for existing users is less easy. Should it be automatic and silent? Or inform/ask the user? Under calibre\plugins is the obvious new place. |

2022-08-30 - Move where GC stores cover images from resources/images/generate_cover to plugins/generate_cover Attached version uses the new dir and does a one-time copy(not move) of configured images from resources/images/generate_cover to plugins/generate_cover. Tested with Calibre 2, 5 & 6, but only on Win10. I don't have mac or linux available to test with right now. I did try to use a cross-platform safe method.

And now I can see that I raised the issue when V6 was released, and KG told me to remove that file. It's in the middle of this thread ==>> [Closed] Issues with Version 6 BR |

Now I am wondering about other images from other plugins where I won't know until I use the plugin.

I treated Resources/... as a USER customized / shared (by multiple PI) location. Well, another reason for keeping a down rev version on another computer (or the backup from before version changes) |

Either a) don't do that , just add the images from where ever they are back to GC (it accepts drag/drop), or; b) just click Yes when it asks you about overwriting each one. I see I need to revisit this issue more--There are places in GC that use resources/images/generate_cover as temporary directory... Plus it would be nice if the 'overwrite?' dialog gave the file name. |

2022-08-30 - Move where GC puts temporary files during setting Import/Export to plugins/generate_cover instead of resources/images/generate_cover. - Include file name when warning about image file overwrite. It would be better if GC used a proper temp file, but the JSONConfig class it uses insists on something relative to the calibre settings dir. Also includes: Quote:
This version still contains a rather obscure bug I can't figure out.
Then I get a 'Corrupted Config file' warning: Quote:
