Media formats missing by adding folders/subfolders. Can only add them at once?
Hi,
I added 6000 folders to a new library. Each folder has an .opf metadata file. There are many folders with formats other than e-book files, like mp4, mp3, etc. When I used add from folders/subfolders, I didn't noticed that it only adds e-books. So now I have many entries with missing formats. I searched and found out here that I should allow addition of non e-book files in settings. Now the question is, can I add only these missing formats to related book entries at once? or should I do another import from scratch? Thanks |

I used a single dot for regex pattern that is similar to global pattern single asterisk. We can also use something like this regex for pattern to filter added files (this won't match files without extension!): Code:
.*\.(apk|mp3|mp4)$ In my case I can get a list of all file types I have in folder and use the needed ones. Last edited by nami; Today at 05:20 AM. |
