My idea was to provide a way to 'view' a snapshot (currently disappears, when disconnected) of what was on a device(s).
Ahh, I see. That has nothing to do with the driveinfo stuff, because the driveinfo information will also only be available while connected.

My suspicion is that you are asking for a calibre GUI feature that would maintain a set driveinfo_uuid:(id, id, id ...) and be able to show you that information in a (custom) column. Sounds like a good plugin project, where the plugin would capture the information when the device is connected, and then be able to populate a column from the captured information when the device is not connected.

Another goal, would to lay the ground work for a re-occurring, multi-user library permissions management suggestions :rolleyes:
Sorry, don't follow. What does multi-user library permissions have to do with the driveinfo information? In fact, what does it have to do with devices in general?
