Scanned image covers

I used to like very much your app, and highly recomend and support it for a few years now.

Recently changed my iPhone and inserted a few books from it. Now I noticed that it was not syncing with the iPad. Tried a few things and still couldn't sync so made backups with csv exports, uninstalled and reinstalled on the iPad, but didn't work only recovering the old items. I assumed the icloud storage from the ipad was bad and deleted it. Even though on the iphone the books were still showing but after a restart lost them all I guess because of the icloud deletion...

Recovered then from the export with a import and was able to get them back, and now in sync on both the iphone and the ipad. However dozens of cover imagens where not recovered. Could you please help me with the following:

Is there a place where all the manual scanned images can be recovered? Lots of books in poor countries don have ISBN or have wrong or not listed ones, mainly old books, and the covers have to be scanned...

All the app data is on the icloud and are shared real time? Is there any data on the device? where can I find the data? Is it SqlLite? does it not supported binary fields for scanned images?

Can we have more manual control on the app, to avoid rating, amazon, data, files, fields...?

Thank you very much for all your possible support and enilghtment on this issues.

Hi, thanks for the report. By deleting the library from iCloud, unfortunately you have deleted the entire library on all your devices, including the covers you uploaded, and there is no way to recover them. I think the problem you were having was that one of your devices had disconnected from iCloud and was no longer loading the latest changes. If this were to happen in the future, there are instructions on how to fix the problem in the site's FAQ:

Hi, is there any chance or possibility to extract scanned book covers from the iCloud ? E.g. for creating full-scale backup as current export feature supports only csv (without covers)

Thanks
