Hi folks,
I just found out today (and fixed it for the 1.4.4 release) that sometimes the program would download and save invalid .jpg files when downloading book covers.
If you happen to have found that this is the case, and it bugs you, you can do the following to get rid of them:
1. Navigate to the install folder of Seventh Sense (usually C:\Program Files\Seventh Sense)
2. Navigate through the following sequence of folders : data -> books - > book(x) (x) = the book number, like 1, 2, etc.
3. Then open the folder called "covers". inside, you'll find several .jpgs. Delete any of them that are ~9 KB in size (they won't show a valid thumbnail image, because they are not really .jpg files)
4. Repeat the process for any of the other books that show red boxes.
5. Restart Seventh Sense - you shouldn't see those any more!
I hope that helps!
BTW, if you have selected a "favorite" cover for a book, you won't see the "download pics" button for it. By unchecking the box, you can then click the button to check for any new covers on Project Aon. By this method, you can now download all of the Peter Andrew Jones covers, as well as the new Mongoose covers by Alberto Del Lago. You can then reselect your "favorite", so that you only see the covers you like best!
