--output-format deprecated?
I've just upgraded to the latest version of Stanza, and was trying to run the standard command for creating my Stanza XML file for basing my Calibre library in my Dropbox folder:
C:\Progra~2\Calibre2\calibredb.exe list --output-format stanza --prefix http://dl.dropbox.com/u/[REDACTED]/Calibre/ > stanza.xml Usage: calibredb.exe list [options] List the books available in the calibre database. Whenever you pass arguments to calibredb.exe that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. calibredb.exe: error: no such option: --output-format How do I need to change this? |

Neither the manual nor the built-in help text (calibredb list --help) make any mention of --output-format whatsoever. I can't tell you if it has been removed or has never existed...

calibredb catalog has replaced calibredb list. The .extension argument replaces --output-format. However, the --prefix option did not go with it. I don't know how to get equivalent functionality, or even if one can.
We need to wait for GRiker to come along and clarify things. He is busy, so it might be a while. |

I'm afraid this particular use case was clobbered in the move to calibredb catalog.
I would suggest either running calibre-server or using calibre2opds for dropbox files. |

I don't know, but the calibre2opds sticky thread might be a good place to start.
