Heh.

I was willing to take a shot and so I clicked on that catalog generation link in my Start menu. And now, it appears as it I'm generating a catalog! It seems as if the "calibre2opds catalogue generation" creates a catalog. At least, my command line is currently open and a whole bunch of stuff is processing.

I'll bet what it's doing is creating a catalog based on the settings you've set/saved in the GUI version ("calibre2opds").

[Later]

Yep, that's what it did. It created a new catalog. So, it's basically a short cut so you don't have to go through the GUI. Cool! And, thanks for asking the question ... I've got a quicker way to update ('cause yeah, you'll need to re-run the catalog any time you update Calibre ... or anytime it bugs you that you don't have an updated catalog...).
