Mr. Goyal:

The Calibre program is a good program, and I thank you for making it available as free and open-source. That said, I find your personal attitude regarding inquiries and suggestions to be not only highly contrarian, but outright offensive. I started this thread politely asking if Calibre had a specific capability, and if not, if someone could point me toward directions on how to implement it. Your first response was to tell me something that I already knew - and nothing more.

When I inquired further, and (again politely) pointed out the reason why I was making the inquiry, you bluntly and rudely denied it. I would point out to you that there IS a point to knowing which disks (SD card, HDD, CD, DVD, etc) files are on - thus the number of "cataloging" applications for keeping track of audio CDs and the like.
As I said, Calibre is a good program; your obstinacy and attitude toward user suggestions is preventing it from becoming a _great_ program - one that would draw in (and EARN) the kind of donations that would make its development worthwhile. However, since you've responded to my queries and input the way you have, you won't be getting any such donations from ME.

And for your reference, I'll tell you that I, too, have done more than a little bit of programming (though not in Python), so I'm FULLY aware that it is _entirely_ possible to read the unique disk ID of every storage device, and thus differentiate between them. If you've tired of further development of Calibre, at least have the decency to say so; otherwise, you risk giving the impression that you are either too ignorant or lazy to make further changes to the program yourself.
