v4.0.141 — Cover changes show up everywhere (web + Kobo) + findable Change-cover

4 hours ago

Cover changes now show up everywhere — and the cover picker is easy to find

When you changed a book's cover, the new image often wouldn't appear until you force-refreshed the page — and on a Kobo it never updated after a sync. Both are fixed.

docker pull ghcr.io/new-usemame/calibre-web-nextgen:v4.0.141

What changed

  • Cover updates appear right away on the book page, home grid, edit page, and link previews — no manual refresh. Your Kobo re-pulls the new cover on its next sync.
  • The cover picker is easy to find now. Click or tap the cover image itself on a book's page to change it — there's a clear "Change cover" prompt plus an always-visible camera badge in the corner. The edit page's button is now plainly labeled "Change cover".

Under the hood

Applying a cover now bumps the book's last_modified, which is what drives both the browser cache-buster on every cover URL and Kobo's "changed since last sync" selection — so a single fix resolves both symptoms. Full detail in #340.
