Hi,

first of all thanks for the great plugin. I am trying to consolidate my two databases (one for paper books, one for ebooks) into a single calibre library.

I have a csv file with the list of "paper" books, and I verified that I can import it with your plugin. My main problem is that I would like to set the book cover using a path in the csv itself. Many of the paper books are rather old, and since they are not easy to find in online catalogs, the covers were painfully scanned one by one by myself. We are talkiing about ~2000 entries, so setting the covers again by hand is not a option. This "forced" cover should take precedence on the ones of the matched electronic versions, when any are found in the existing calibre library.

Is there a way to do this in the current version?

Thanks again,

Andrea.
