Multiple Calibre Sessions ?
I have a large number of files I have to load and clean up in Calibre (100k+).
I'm doing this piecemeal, because if I try to add files past around 20k to a calibre library, it slows down enormously. So I'm wondering if it's possible to launch multiple copies of calibre (using different databases and library folders) so I can import into one while cleaning up the other. I've tried, but the second copy doesn't seem to launch. Win7, 8GB Memory, AMD x6. |

No, only one instance of calibre can run at a time.

I've done that myself in the past (and the '--dont-notify-gui' switch, which you will need, came to be because of it ). |

Doing More on the same system is just going to slow it down more.
Desktop PC's are typically I/O bound because of a single data and memory buses. There is a reason that many Server class machines have 2 or more complete sets of CPU's, RAM, I/O I suggest that your old friend KVM and a desk load of PC's will be faster. In the end, Calibre can combine Libraries (Copy TO Library) |
