Library Management & Content Server
First let me say this: I know you can run multiple copies of the content server on different ports from the command line to work around getting the feature I'm wanting. However, as this has inherrent limitations (no automatic updating, command windows open in Windows GUI [yes there's a "workaround" for that too, getting the picture?] or just that you have to deal with multiple URLs because of the port numbers)... So knowing all that -- my question.
I guess I really don't understand what makes it so difficult to place a drop down box on the content server home page to select different libraries. I know there are some organizational freaks out there like myself. I have a library for fiction, for non-fiction, for children's litereature, newspapers and so on and so forth. I realize the same effect could be achieved with saved searches and custom metatag data, but this seems like so much extra work after I've already gone to the trouble of having multiple libraries in the first place.
Now I'm not a developer, so feel free to tell me that the structure of the Calibre database in conjunction with the limitation of the open source web server application make this a difficult piece of coding, but too me it seems a pretty easy feature and something that would make using the great feature of libraries more useful (i.e. - I almost never connect my reader directly to the PC to get new content)
