Currently I use Book Collector from Collectorz.com for my paper ("real") books and calibre for my ebooks.
I am thinking about ditching Collectorz and adding all my data into calibre.
I have managed to export all my data from Collectorz and using "Add books by ISBN" and "Import List" plugin I have added most details.
What I want to do is add my cover pictures automatically where the "download metadata" plugins cannot find them. They are all on my hard disk, and I can create a CSV file with the path, but I cannot see any way of getting calibre to use this information to add the picture to the calibre library.
Is there a plugin or feature which does this, or will I have to copy them across manually?
