Sorry, this does not meet, what I want: batch import of covers. I have already all books in DB of Calibre, with (nearly) all datas. I want to add to them a cover. I can do single folders for all files, rename them according to my import settings (author - title), take into them a JPG and rename them to "cover"; all in batch, using Total commander; but can not in batch create OPF files with various content, because authors and titles must to be in the OPF. Your tip results, that Calibre will not read file names, and imports all covers (yes, in this case it imports them) into the new file, titled "metadata".

I wrote originally:

Autoimport cover by file name
I have (yet) 2,000 books, not imported into calibre. Most of them has cover in the same folder and with the same file name (author[s] - title.ext), as book, with extension JPG or PNG.

Is there a way to automate the import of covers into books' metadata?
