The other tags I would like to keep the same as are currently on the file (cover, published date, comments, etc...).
I cannot find a way to import all the books using the filename for the title and author and leaving the remaining tags as they are already on the file.
I'm sure this should be easy to do but I am either being really thick (which is highly probable) or I'm missing a setting somewhere.
Thanks in advance,

I have thousands of books and they are sorted alphabetically by authors.
In every authors folder there are subfolders with authors name-book title.
When I import them they became a mess of incorrect metadata.
I tried the option to import them ignoring metadata but then I'm missing covers.
And I would like to have the original cover and not some randomly downloaded.
There should be an option to get at least the cover separately from other metadata.
I saw Kovid's replay that wrong author and title metadata automatically assume other metadata is incorect too-but it's not the case with covers.
Covers should somehow be fixed to the book without the rest of the metadata.
Sorry to see it's not the case.
