Version 1.0.13-2016-08-27 Changed file selection filtering for Other Binary to allow any files simultaneously, including the other media types (image, audio and video), archive files (e.g. 7z and zip), ebook formats, executables...anything.
See the attached example.
You can indicate to MFI that you want all media files that have the identical paths except for the final file extension to be treated as a single 'collection' and copied to the same Calibre subdirectory.
An advanced "file renamer" utility (e.g.
https://www.advancedrenamer.com/) is highly recommended to do mass renaming of the original files prior to executing MFI to add them to Calibre.
Example: you have the identical photos in several formats (.jpg, .png, .bmp, .tiff), so you want them to be in the same 'book' in Calibre, and not each having their own 'book'. The pictures are identical; only the formats are different. Make their filenames the same except for their file extension prior to executing MFI to add them to Calibre.
Example: you could compress using 7Zip (avoid a .zip file extension, which is for ebooks only) various media files that should be kept with a closely related file (e.g. .pdf or .epub, etc.), and MFI will put that .7z file in the same "book" as the .pdf or .epub, and register it with Calibre. Make the .7z file name the same as the .pdf or .epub except for its .7z file extension prior to executing MFI to add them to Calibre.
For such "mixed media formats", the MFI processing mode of "Other Binary" must be selected so that MFI will not filter by image, audio or video. "Other Binary" will process anything with anything else. Example: .pdf with a .jpg with a .mp3 with a .mkv with a .7z (that has anything stored inside of it).
