I'm having a minor issue with accessing my Calibre library located on my network.

To access my library, I must first access the network drive (via Windows Explorer, for example) and then the library opens okay.

I've searched, but can't find any way to have Calibre wait for the drive to spin up. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Calibre is not compatible with network shares/NAS.

Some folk get away with it, others like yourself don't.
Your Library data is at risk unless everything is rock solid, All the time.
