Those images you posted look like the latter to me. In which case do as theducks suggested. use the Create Catalogue tool. If its not in the toolbar you can add it via Preferences->Toolbars.

That's exactly what I'm NOT trying to do.
I'm making a PHP script to read from the database file.

There will be exactly zero actual ebooks involved.
What I want is the covers as files named 'cover.jpg' in the exact path listed in the "path" field in the "books" table of metadata.db (but in another location, such as a webserver)

My end goal is a public, live, sortable and searchable GUI for my collection of books, but not including any of the actual book files.

The suggestions with robocopy for Windows or rsync for Linux are the ones doing what I would like.
