Library Location Configs Mac
I am developing a bash script for Mac that will allow me to wrap and run a portable version of Calibre on a Mac.
One of the recurring issues I encounter is when the script is used on a new machine. In such cases, it fails to recognize/Volumes/CaliberPortable/Library as the library location, as it has been mounted as "/Volumes/Calibre 1." This necessitates a manual search for the library. I don't think there is any way to use relative paths; or is there? That would be the ideal solution! If not, assuming I tracked down all the JSON files and tweaked those usng my wrapper script before Calibre launches, would that be a safe way to change it with the script? Is there a better way? Also, to update the quick switch menu to additional Libraries, can I just adjust the history.plist file? |

Look at the calibre-portable.sh script in the resources folder of a calibre install to see how to do it. You just need toset a few env vars
