If you are willing to do an end-run around calibre's management routines, simply close calibre and move the JPGs into the ebook folders.

Loop through all folders in the library, extract the author and title from the pathname, and copy the right cover in.
calibre should pick up the change.

I'd try to work out a batch script for you but I typed this on my Kindle.
eschwartz, thank you for your quick reply. Sorry, the attempt is again without success. I thought about it, too, but: 90 % of my books has, of course, hungarian title (αινσφőϊόű), 9% russian (cyrill). Plus, when Calibre thinks, it shortens the filenames; cuts out some characters (dots,...). While I try and understood all Calbre's renaming nuances, will quicker to add all covers manually.

Please, do not hurry! I do not ask from you to work on Kindle. I can wait, till you will at a PC.
