Update missing covers

New to this forum, searched quickly but couldn't find a clear answer... How do I update missing book-covers?
Guess I should list all books with missing (of default?) covers first and then go to "Edit Metadata" and download covers?
But how do I create that list?

For no cover, search for cover:false.

In addition to what BR said.

Get the Quality Check Plugin. This will help you identify MANY other metadata short comings and inconsistencies (The latter will need your manual correction. You can Edit the value in the Tag Browser to change ALL uses with 1 edit))

Repeated Fetch Metadata is not going to make it Better. GIGO (and there is a Lot of that in the Metadata sources)
Identify the sources that roll your way and adjust Configure Metadata Download The main screen is overall and fine tune that by using the Configure selected source (button). This allows toy to Cherry pick data by source. eg. Authors from A, Series from F, Ratings from G

Thanks for the tips.

Need to get into the Quality Check plugin details... There's soo much and (as it seems): soo much that should/could be fixed...

Ain't that the truth.

You might take a moment and make a plan (to suite your style).
I clean titles:
I made a custom Sub Title column. If it IS REALLY a sub, I move that there.
I bin: A Mystery, A novel...

Other things I do:
I singular Series names. eg Series_name MYSTERY ...
I choose to Hierarchy Series and Tags (I use the branch for the Index) Pern.Harper hall [1]

And the one thing that is almost allways Manual I prefer the IMPRINT in the publishers column. Berkley Prime Crime and Not Penguin Group
