I'm not poking anywhere. I'm just trying to add books to my calibre library without losing the covers that are located within the .LIT file already.

Can you give an example of how to keep the covers when I import them? I'm not sure what you mean by 'tick'.

So far the only way I can think to do it is to import every book twice, once to grab the metadata from the file, and another time to build the correct author, title, etc. using the regex commands. Then I have to merge the two duplicates in calibre. Very annoying to do it this way.
