Adding Books
Just curious, when I add books from a directory to Calibre, does Calibre do anything with the original copies in the original directories or does it just copy them over to new directories inside of Calibre? I ask because I would still like to keep the original files and directories just where they are for backup purposes without them being modified by actions I take from within Calibre.

If you add it via the Add Book (or drag 'n' drop), the original file remains untouched and Calibre just copies it to the library folder.
If you use the autoadd folder (configured in Preferences > Adding books > Automatic adding) it'll delete the file. |
