On Mac M1, downloading book covers from Open Library or Amazon doesn't work.

Did you build BQ on your own or are you using a DMG from here?

I downloaded the newest DMG 2026.05.10 and both Amazon and Open Library work on Apple M2 15.7.7. Verify that the biblioteq.conf is readable by BQ. If it isn't, you'll see an error after launch.

I'm using the official DMG 2026.05.10 downloaded from GitHub releases. The biblioteq.conf file is located at /Applications/biblioteq.conf with permissions -rw-r--r-- and is being read correctly (no error at launch). However, both Amazon and Open Library cover image downloads fail with the message "The front cover image for the specified ISBN may not exist." SRU data retrieval works fine. Running on MacBook Pro M1 with macOS.

Ah well try another book. Some books don't have images. Did you see the image in Amazon by visiting it?

[joseferdz]

Yes, I tried with different books. The image of all of them were in Amazon and Open Library

Can you share a sample ISBN?

OK, download from Amazon works in Kubuntu. I'll see MacOS.

I was able to download the image from Amazon. Tested on a Mac Mini M2.
