thank you for that, Kovid.
I don't quite understand what you've said.
"Then select the remaining files in the folder and drag and drop them onto the book details panel with the newly created book selected to add them as extra formats to that book."
What would that do? Copy all my books over to Calibre under the name of that first book??? Can't be right, surely.
You mean a number of different books can be kept within Calibre as 'extra formats' to an existing book?
I always uncheck the option 'assume all ebook files in the folder are the same book in different formats' because the books in my windows folders are all different. Only in Calibre would I expect to find two or more versions of a book because only there might I have a .txt, a .pdf. an epub or something of the same book.
Have I got the wrong idea? I am now confused.
Let's be clear about what I want to do:
copy the 'books' ( could be anything from .txt to .epub )from a windows directory into Calibre one directory at a time, no subdirectories.
And not looking to create any directories in Calibre. Just want to get the books into Calibre, is all.
Does it help if I say why the problem? it is because I have many sub folders in many of my folders that have stuff I don't want in Calibre. That's all.
