Possible to Add Other Files to Library

bartelbygainez · 10-26-2011, 08:42 AM

I was wondering if it's possible to add non-book files to the Calibre Library using the "Add a format to this book" button in the Edit Metadata Screen. Basically I'd like to add the MyClippings, .mpb, and/or any artwork files I've created that are associated with each book.

My main concern is that I might mess up the way Calibre reads the library if these "foreign" files are suddenly added. I could save them elsewhere, but it'd be more convenient to have all of a book's files in one place.

You can drag and drop files in the Metadata-edit (formats) box.
be sure to add the extension to the list of exclusions in the Library maintenance section to avoid complaints.

Copy to Library will probably not move these files. Save to... the same problem
