Hello there,

I'm rather new to Calibre, just testing if it will support my collection of 35.000 e-books.

First problem I've run into is that, since I have all the covers of these books as a separate .jpg files on disk I'll manually have to go trough them and add them in "Edit Meta-data Individually", and that looks like a lot of work.

Could this not be achieved by a plug-in to be added to the "Download Covers" option in "Download Meta-data And Covers", just like the rest of the external sources on the internet but then a named directory on disk?

Is there such a option or other workaround?, and if not, is anyone willing to create one?

Love to hear from you, so, kind greetings,

Guido Happé
