I've got one folder with (many) sub-folders each containing a:
name - author.txt file
cover.jpg

I've been using the [Add books - each subdir contains one ebook] option

How can I cause Calibre when it adds the .txt file (or other formats like HTML, PDF) to the library to also include the cover.jpg if it exists in the source folder? I thought this might be the default action but apparently not?

(I had also tried naming the covers as "name - author.jpg" but also no joy)

If I use [Edit metadata] and manually browse to the folder still containing the cover.jpg and select it, cover.jpg is copied to the Calibre folder and AFAICT (by comparing old and new metadata.opf) metadata.opf is left unchanged.

... later ... looks like *ANY* jpg selected will be saved as cover.jpg regardless of its original name (which makes sense I guess)

Thanks ... Alec
