** 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.

+ Afterthought: Perhaps make unknown files in books fixable in the library check function. The fix being the addition of the marked files to the database.
