import whole folders to calibre-library
hi.
i just installed calibre and now want to import my ebooks. i already imported some, but it seems, as if its not possible to import whole folders. i have my ebooks in folders with many subfolders which would make it quite exhausting to open every folder to import the books. drag and drop also failed. is there a simple solution?? thanks cheers nico |

I am new to calibre too and just added a bunch of my books yesterday. I clicked the down arrow of the Add books icon and selected the choice:
Add books from directories, including sub-directories (Multiple books per directory, assumes every ebook file is a separate book) Then pick the folder you want to add. Took a while but it worked great! |

Along a very similar vein is it possible to make calibre use this as the default action for adding files but also to add files within folders?
this i though worked some time ago in unknown version but it may not have. I know the option in the add files button drop down list but why not allow customisation of the add files button? Maybe there is a way but as yet i cant locate it. thanks for all suggestions etc. MInsik |

 Adding bulk files is usually a 1 time function used primarily for setting up a library.If you want to add a block of new book (eg. a Baen Bundle), consider setting up an 'Auto-Add' folder to drop them into. DO REMEMBER the original files dropped will be deleted after adding them into the library |
