I have many books on my local drive. Some of them are not yet in Calibre library. How can i find which ones need to be added?

I made the csv list of calibre books and that gives me the metadata book titles and calibre file names. I have the list of file names from the local hard drive directory. These names are not the same and I can't compare them effectively.

Is there a way to get Calibre to provide the original file name that was imported? This would be the best option I can think of.

What other options are there?

Thank you in advance!
