Collections: add books from a folder koreader/koreader#12892

KOReader Collections can be populated AUTOMATICALLY from the list of collections, by long pressing the collection name and choosing "Connect Folders" then "Include subfolders"
Collections: connect folders koreader/koreader#13336

Note that in my experience with a large number of books in the directories (6700), ordering the collection by title or author took super long. 20-30 minutes long.

So I'm not sure how usable a solution this is.
JimmXinu, that is great, thank you for posting this. I wasn't aware that the latest update to KOReader has that feature!

I updated to 2025.04 tonight, and with just 160 books or so on my device, the collection populated pretty much instantly.

Anyone who finds their way to this thread should definitely use the method you describe here rather than that script I posted a while back.

Thanks again!
