How best to manage auto import of books for multiple libraries

CraftyClown · 10-10-2020, 02:26 PM

So I've just moved my calibre install over to a Docker container and it's working brilliantly, however there is one thing I can't work out how to do. I have several different libraries for family members and I'm trying to work out how to configure the auto import feature for each of them.

I can set it up for my main user, by going to "add books/control the adding of books" however this appears to be a global change and stays the same if I use the quick switch function to change user.

So how do I set it up for the auto service to check the right folder for the right library?

The Job Spy plugin has Tweak for Per-Library Auto-Add Directory, if youd like to check that. Make sure to read the tooltips.
