Hi,
I would really like to be able to upload my own default cover image :)
There is a button that says "Add Default Cover Image" at the bottom of the cover settings page, but nothing happens when I click it.
At them moment I always upload a image I made and that I would like to show if I don't have a cover, but it's really unnecessary to upload the same image over and over!..
(I photograph all my book covers and upload. Its only in collections like "Wishlist" where I use my own default cover image)
Is this some function that is under construction? Has it worked before? Do I do anything wrong, like do I need to use another browser or something, for it to work?.
Thx :)

I've never tried to do it, but I can confirm that the button is non-functional. I think this should be in Bug Collectors.

Yep, not working (latest firefox, windows 10 FWIW). Concur with anglemark, repost this in Bug Tracking where it will be seen by staff

I want to say that button should probably be removed.
Many years ago, they asked people to submit default covers through that button and they chose the top however many.
Once they had the list, I think the button stopped working. (I of course could be wrong, or it might also be a symptom of LT 2.0 updates.)
Just a note, if you change your default cover at all, that cover populates to ALL books you have selected as default cover. However, if you are uploading a generic Book Cover then it remains individualized. (Though if it is a home made cover and not one for the book, it might get flagged as invalid as well.)

Yes, please report this in the Bug Collectors Group. I'm seeing the following error when trying to click the "Add Default Cover Image" button:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'lightbox')
at HTMLButtonElement.onclick (covers:258:340)
onclick @ covers:258
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'lightbox')

I have commented this button out for now because although I got the image to upload, I couldn't figure out how to get it to actually set as your default image, so I will keep it on my list to look into later. I think I need to talk to others to find out if it was supposed to be there, as mentioned in >4 gilroy:
