Hi - Win PC, ext drive failed :-(
So I've reinstalled Calibre on a new ext. drive, but I'm having trouble adding folder with books in them.
I've setup an auto-add folder, but if I put a folder in there and restart Calibre, nothing happens.
If I try and add manually, it keep asking to open folders until I get to book level - then if I select a book, it adds it fine.
But this would take too long, I've lots of books - all in various folders.

I'm sure when I first installed it, Calibre used a top level folder to import all books, how can I get that done now please?
