If I want a link to a book in another library, I put a 'bookmark' in the #admin_tags column for the current book in library A, go fetch the link from the 'wanted' book in library B, return to the 'bookmarked' book in library A, and do whatever with the link. But, I don't need to do that very often. When I was adding dozens of books a day to a couple libraries I found CalibreSpy quite useful, but I'm not doing that these days. BTW: prior to CS I used an early version of calibre server, the one that used database table row numbers rather than string searches. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 11-29-2023 at 03:56 AM. |

Can't Pick Library
I'm dual booting MacOS and Fedora.
My Calibre libraries are on an HFS+ disk; MacOS can read and write to it, Fedora can only read it. I'm hoping to use Calibre Spy so I can read my Calibre libraries without moving it to another disk and without 2x versions of Calibre causing trouble for each other. But when I run Calibre Spy from within Calibre, it prompts for a library, but doesn't let me pick a library. |

@MarjaE - did you set the default configuration in Preferences->Plugins?
From within calibre itself CalibreSpy can only access libraries that Calibre itself knows of, i.e. they must be Calibre's Quick Switch list. BTW: DaltonST hasn't logged on since July 5 2023 BR |

New Edit: When adding custom columns for DDC and LCC, it will create the two distinct columns, but show either DDC or LCC in both columns. Never both. I'm not certain how it's choosing which it displays.
****** Forgive me as this has probably been covered. I would like to add "ddc" and "lcc" columns to CalibreSpy. Like the CalibreSpy Library Specific Options in the image. The trouble is, I cannot find the Library Specific Options, so I cannot change them. One library I managed to create this by accident, but clearly wasn't paying attention as I cannot replicate it in other libraries. Any assistance is appreciated! EDIT: Forgive me. I figured it out. If anyone in the future hasn't figured out how to add your custom columns: click on the Spy (eye) icon in the lower left of CalibreSpy. Edit 2: I am curious how to reset the added columns after I've set them! Edit 3: Use the CalibreSpy.bat file with and change calibre-debug -r "CalibreSpy" with calibre-debug -r "CalibreSpy" -- --"c:\yourpath\here" --reset ...I'm not tech or script adept, obviously. If someone can put this into words more useful to someone with ignorance on the subject, that'd be great. I only keep adding these edits in hopes it helps someone with these issues in the future. If it's irritating to the developer, or he thinks it will create confusion, I'll cease. Last edited by GalacticHull; 08-19-2024 at 05:30 PM. Reason: Figured out the solution to my problem. Explaining in case a future reader needs the information. |
