Hello everyone.

I'm trying to add a thousand books to a library. My problem i as follows:

1: I have about 500 jpeg covers files and I need to associate each one to the related book
2: I created two custom columns, year of publication and original title. Both information are stored in a text delimited file.

Now, everything can be made at hand, but since I'm talking of hundreds of books, I'd like to do it with a batch program, so my question is: is there any command line utility that allows to:

a) Specify a jpeg file as a cover for each book and
b) set the values of both principal and custom metadata ?

I checked for the CLU actually available with calibre, but they doesn't seem to do the job.

I was trying to automate XML parsing and editing with VB, but it looks to be quite complicated.

Any suggestion ?

Thanks

Paul
