Add jpg as cover when imported.
I have a big batch of text files I would like to import as books. One book per directory, with the cover as a jpg in the same directory.
Is there an automated way I can add each jpg as the cover of the book that shares the directory? Thanks! P.S. These books do no exist on any external online databases. C. |

If you are comfortable using the command line, use calibredb to import your books with a shell script. Other than that you will need to create an opf file in each directory that contains that contains the metadata and a link to the cover. See the OPF files in the calibre library directories for samples.
