** Description changed: - I've had to restore the Calibre database because it was corrupt. Running - a check afterwards, I found that all jpg and gif files in the book - directories were ignored in the restore (other non-book file types like - xlsx were not ignored). I often add alternative covers to Calibre, for - example of the print version that I also own. I add them properly with - the Calibre Add function, not just put them in the directory with - Explorer, so originally Calibre knew about them and handled them as I - expected (for example keeps them when I change the book title). Is there - any way to tell restore to include these types (excluding cover.jpg), - maybe by defining them in Calibre as user defined types? I don't feel - like re-adding hundreds of files by hand, especially since April 2018 I - frequently get the blue screen of death. I reckon this is not the last - time I will have to restore the database. I used Calibre 3.20 [64 bit] - in Windows 10 Home version 1803. + I've had to restore the Calibre database because it was corrupt.

The fix being the addition of the marked files to the database.
