Hi

I have a script that crawls and converts pdfs to cbz (keeps pdfs) in place. I want to add all those new cbz files in the books's folders to the book records. I tried "check library" it lists all those books but it does not let me "fix", only delete is enabled.

So my question is that , would there be a way to ask calibre to add all the formats that are found in the books folders via some kind of command line?

I do not want to recreate my database from scratch everytime I need to do this.
