many thanks for advice. i using Calibre installed, not portable - till today. I will try to edit
calibre-portable.bat, will see later. Can i manage startup behaviour with "standard" Calibre ? to make batch file or so ? may be thru Environment variables if possible ? how ?
i downloaded and unpack Calibre-Portable, but no such file
calibre-portable.bat... should i start the Calibre-Portable first ? Calibre Settings folder empty...

my idea is - when i moving out from home - using laptop - to know which books i collected already... if i will manage my laptop smaller collection - let say about 10-50 books - when i will back home i will just copy metadata.db+Calibre book folder and both - desktop and laptop - will synced. is it correct ? or you can advice better idea ?
to keep metadata.db inside calibre book folder is not best idea because my library about 50 thousand books and access to see folder structure very slow... to copy i use command line (windows cmd) or Calibre send to device...
