Thanks for the recommendation. I might consider it if it weren't Windows only. As a native Linux user, I've had mixed success using WINE to run Windows programs, and don't purchase any due to the chance of poor compatibility. I run a few in a VM, but a collection manager is one of the sorts that can't be run that way as it would require access to more than a mere shared folder between the VM and my native OS, and that's all the VMs get.
I've poked at Lucidor but it's a bit limited (epub only, for one), and Buka only works with pdfs. I have files in every format under the sun and rather than try to force epubs into pdfs (ugh) or pdfs to epubs (even worse), I'd rather leave them in their original format.
GCStar will launch books but they have to be added one by one (no folder imports, a necessity when one has thousands and thousands of books), Readerware Books Database is just a database for books, no launching option that I could see (I use a tiny simpler freeware program for my offline ones, and if it comes to just searching titles or authors, my OS's file search can handle that). Kavita appears to be more of a server to share with friends, complete with in-browser usage.
So unless there's one out there that I just don't know about, I'm going to guess it doesn't exist. Thanks for trying to help!
