How to import boook without copy files to library folder?
Hi team,
How can I set few paths to import only books but does not copy to calibre library folder (avoiding duplicate files in hard disk)? If there is no feature, how can I suggest this idea? |

What you want is not possible and is never going to be. If that's something you can't do without, then Calibre is not for you.

2. It's a good feature to have a copy. 3. A very basic laptop or computer might have 256 G of SSD or HDD. Some cheap laptops 768 G to 2T. About 5,000 ebooks is only a few 4K videos. A full text search database might a big proportion of the Calibre storage. 4. Forget that Calibre is storing visible copies. Treat the entiire calibre storage as local "black box" and don't look inside the library folder / directory. |
