book covers disappeared

Hi - I updated to the latest version of calibre and now the book covers in the detail column are all blank - any ideas how to get them back? I like seeing them.

Cavers appear in a number of places.

Are you referring to:
The cover browser (a banner of about 10 covers, 1 face out, the other at an angle)?
the cover in Metadata edit?
The one in the details pane (where the comments also show)
in the 'info' window (tap 'I') which is a larger details.

were you playing around in the Library folder? cover.jpg is what calibre uses in the Library views

When did you do the download - there was a corrective 1.46 release more than twelve hours since, see View Single Post - V 1.46 - Error with Author Link

Do download again from here ==>> Download calibre and reinstall

Hi - on the right side of the screen I have a details panel. Until the update, the cover of the book appeared there and, on occasion, it would show up as a blank, brown book cover - but usually, it was a picture of the actual book cover. Now all I see are blanks... not the end of the world, but annoying since I like seeing the cover.

@theducks - losing the covers was one of the effects the 'typo' in the initial release of 1.46, read my previous post and follow the links therein
