False, even chatGPT knows that:

To upload images directly to MobileRead posts, follow these steps:

1. **Click "Reply" or "New Thread"**: Start by creating a new post or replying to an existing one.
2. **Scroll Down to "Additional Options"**: Under the text box, you'll find "Additional Options."
3. **Manage Attachments**: Click on the "Manage Attachments" button.
4. **Upload Your Image**: A new window will open where you can choose an image file from your device to upload. Follow the instructions to select and upload your image.
5. **Insert Your Image**: Once uploaded, the image will appear as an attachment in your post. To embed it directly in your text, you can use the [img] tag with the URL of the uploaded image.

And there you have it—an easy way to share visuals on MobileRead.

I'll copy some of the folders over from my NAS to verify - but I'm sure you are correct - as Calibre created this output in the first place

However, I suppose we're getting off the point - regardless if those hidden folders exist - how do I tell Calibre to import its own output correctly?

If Calibre can't resolve this, that's okay - I've manually pushed through reloading those 12000 titles already - so this is less an immediate concern... but if there is a way, it would be nice to know how to import this data properly in the future without all the manual effort.

Thanks for all your work!

Hehe - in my book, if the webpage I'm using isn't clear enough to use - that I have to consult chatGPT for an answer - well... I guess I must value your willingness to consult chatGPT on my behalf, though...

Thanks for the info!

Nope, calibre does not create such folders.
You need to remove the hidden folders yourself then the remaining folders which are actually calibre output will import just fine.
