After a recent upgrade I discovered that the database was corrupted. It only showed 3 entries even though the directory contained all of the ebooks. I deleted the database file and restarted calibre thinking it would rebuild the database. oops! bad assumption on my part. I have the directory structure intact, but calibre doesn't recognize that there are ebooks in the folders.

Is there any way to rebuild the database from the directory and subdirectories that calibre created?
