I've created a custom column (I call genre) to help me have a more organized directory on my ebook reader. When I download news items, I couldn't find a way to populate this custom column without re-writing the recipe, so I decided to use a script that runs daily to run calibredb set_custom to set that custom column.

Anyways, after the script runs, the GUI is never updated. I don't see the custom column being set in the GUI of calibre. Is there any way to tell calibre that the database has been updated and to reread it? The only way I've found so far was to exit calibre and reopen it.
