It works as expected here (calibre 6.24).

Really? If that is the case, how does one actually add a cover using Tools => Add a cover?

None of this makes any sense whatsoever.

IT Works. This is not Burger King (Your way slogan)

Test done with V6.23 Windows on an EMPTY BOOK (no formats)
I selected that book: Tapped 'T', it asked me if I wanted to create that format: yes:. (there was only a blank Start page)
Tools add cover: It asked me if I wanted to Import an Image (there were none in the book): Yes : selected an image from the PC (a IBM 3380 DASD string with controller if you must know ) : OK

Presto, I now have titlepage.xtml at the top of the file browser

Way more Simple than my post #3 (1 page book attached)

Right!!
With that new bit of info, I tried again.
And, yes, when running that tool, on an empty epub, I run the tool, select an image by importing it, and when I press OK, the titlepage.xhtml with the imported cover is now created.

I've never used this because my library entry always has a cover in place before adding or editing the book, so when I open the book for the first time, the titlepage.xhtml is automatically created.

Thanks.
