I thought the idea of a "source" field was straightforward, it would be a URL directly to the PDF (no authentication). I'd then have a refresh which would check the date of the remote PDF vs the local, and update unless the size dropped significantly (ie: error).
The issue I just ran into is that I'd like to import my existing redbooks into my Calibre database, but got stuck because it appears I can't add metadata when I add a book.
calibredb add lets me specify a filename, but I can't feed it my source field at the same time. My initial efforts to search for the PDF via calibredb list by filename failed as well.
If calibredb add returned the UUID in its output, I could then call set_metadata...
Any other ideas?
