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?
You will need to wrap things in some sort of a script using this CLI section to insert.

You will need to do more (use other CLI sections) , to match things up
