Create virtual library on device connect
Hi everybody.
Quick question: I use Virtual Libraries to further establish structures in my eBook collection. As I got more acquainted to the features in calibre, I started using a "ondevice:false" virtual library to have an overview of which books in a large series I haven't transferred yet. But this approach only works when the device is connected, otherwise it shows my full library. Is there a way to make that VL pop up once metadata has been retrieved from a connected device? |

Not directly, but you can create a plugin to do that, if you are comfortable with programming.

might work if this field is the one that is ONLY being populated from your import. |

You can use the Reading List plugin to automatically populate a custom yes/no column with the device's contents, then create a VL based on that column.
