I think I managed to add a cover to a number of books at one time through metadata but I may not be right.

If it is possible to do I could do with a pointer on it.
I don't think you can do that in 'vanilla' Calibre. Bulk metadata edit will only let you do three things: Add a default Caibre cover, remove the cover, or set it from the cover inside the ebook file itself. You can't set it from an image file,

The 'Generate Cover' plugin looks like it will do what you want, though.
