In my library folder, d:/ebooks, along with books that are in the calibre library and organized by author/title folder structure and have proper metadata, I have mixed in mobi, epub, and pdf that were never added to calibre. I.e. they were dropped into the d:/ebooks via file explorer rather than added into calibre.

How do I force calibre to scan the library folder for these "undocumented" books and add them automatically.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks in advance.
