Description Jessica 2022-02-14 17:21:55 UTC

Hi

We can in the current version import a whole music folder, but not a whole book folder.
We can however import book by book by either:

- using "import pdf file"
- using drag and drop of the PDF file

I would like to request a feature to import a whole book folder. It reads all PDF, ... book files and imports them all.

For a book folder import, it would be usefull to also have a "recursive folder search" (as used in the "import audio file metadata")

It could also be usefull to have a message box appearing after the import saying how many files were imported.

Add file reader for books

For now, the functionality is somewhat hidden within the File Listing
importer, and reads pdf and ebooks. Also switch the ebook importer to
use the same reader code.
