After you filled in the series metadata, you can just run the Generate Cover plugin separately on that story. And if you update it for the new chapter, it should preserve the series just fine and use that data as well when generating a cover.

Excellent! That's exactly how it should work.

Or even have a feature to override what the site says for some fields with the existing calibre metadata? |

cover images
Hi Jimm,
is there a way to put the covers generated by the "Generate Cover" plugin into the epub file when downloading a new story or updating an existing one? If there isn't I'd like to ask for this feature. I use Moon+ reader on my Android tablet and when I import stories the program tries to use the cover in the epub file. If there isn't one, Moon+ generates a truly atrocius cover. I'd prefer the covers I generate with the GC plugin. |

Well, I only really need the series data, but maybe someone out there is doing something funky with personal columns/tags? As to the override feature, I could see that being useful in some circumstances - manually corrected tags or descriptions, maybe? - but I don't know how many people are that obsessive. |

We might be talking about two different things - I'm talking about the title page that's generated with the epub. I still get that even though I've uninstalled the Generate Cover plugin.

In the meantime, if you use the default_cover_image feature, the epub will have a cover, if not the right one. Then, if you're using calibre to send the epub to your device, calibre will replace it with the current cover. Also, the latest beta of the 'Modify ePub' plugin can insert as well as update covers. I expect that the official release will be out in a few days. |

v1.5.24 posted with new site and new feature:
New site by iatheia(Ida): thehexfiles.net (We now have an even 40 supported sites.) New option to inject calibre series if no series on site as requested by AmberDragon. Look for 'Inject calibre Series when none found' on the 'Basic' settings tab. As usual, there may be a delay before calibre notices the new version. You can get the latest by going in and telling calibre to install it again. Jim |

In regards to the reading list part of the plugin, I think adding a list monitor of sorts would be nice- a setting to monitor a stories on device list. And have so only updated fanfics already in that list get put onto a send to device list.

It's vaguely possible that you need to resize the dialog box bigger to see it. If you're not seeing it, you don't have the latest version or you haven't restarted since updating it. |

I can probably do that, as long as there's only one "Stories to Send to Device" list. If there's one for each "Send to Devices" list I'm not sure how I'd associate them. Name conventions, maybe? |
