Ok, this explains one of them.

When switching libraries, look at lines 452 onwards in ui.py

First it calls the plugin library_changed method
Then it clears the search restrictions and saved searches in 455-457.
I can't see any obvious events or anything I could hook into after that point.

As for Calibre startup, I have found that I can actually apply a saved search, but not a search restriction. I'll see if I can find why on that one out too...

EDIT: Ok, I don't know what I did wrong previously but I can now apply searches AND restrictions from my plugin at startup. It is ONLY when switching libraries, for the reasons stated above that I cannot apply from library_changed.

Any alternative suggestions?
