@Kovid: thanks for your response and your tip!
Yes, I mean covers. OK, I couldn't find a way to bundle up my image files into a .cbz file but If I compress them into a .rar file and then import them into Calibre then Calibre generates a cover.
@BetterRed: thanks for your response and your tip! I'm now testing the Media File Importer plugin.
My intention is to use Calibre also for other documents, not only for books. I find the 'Cover Grid' and 'Cover Browser' very helpful for this purpose. But Calibre since it's not meant for this purpose does not generate thumbnails (covers) for all documents. After some time I have finally found a way to solve my problem by using a script and generate thumbnails for all of my documents. This also solves an issue I had with some of my books which were in .doc or .docx format, namely Calibre setting the cover from the first image it finds and not from the first page of the book.
