Of you are doing this then you cannot tell Calibre to look on your hard disk for book covers. It will either take them from the books themselves - or they have to be refetched from the internet. Having said that it is possible to use the Edit metadata dialog at the individual book level to get a cover from your hard disk - but it sounds as if you want a mass fetch?
