Calibre Auto-add system - can it do subfolders now?

I have been getting my system ready to server an ebook library automatically, and I noticed this post:

Quote:
If you wish to add books from sub-folders in bulk, simply right click the add books button and choose add from sub-folders. Automatic adding is never going to support sub-folders.
I was wondering if this has changed?

If not, I can continue to add manually, but, then the problem of adding duplicates exist, and after looking through Calibre, I am not sure how to manage the duplicates issue.

Is there a guide on how to continually (manually) add books without creating duplicates?

manual adding and automatic adding can both be configured to handle duplicates automatically. And no automatic adding will never support sub folders.

Auto Add

I have preferences set to auto add from a directory. I may have not done this correctly because Calibre is not adding automatically. I can, of course, go into Add Books and do so individually and have been doing that. Additionally I used to be able to add multiple books from my "auto add" directory but when I try to do so it only selects the first book and stops. Any ideas of where I may have gone wrong?

Thanks,
Kem
