The code will be:
Code:
if ( "$1" != "" ) then
while ( "$1" != "" )
ebook-edit "$1" &
shift
end
else
ebook-edit
endif

I started Terminal and entered '/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/ebook-edit' (without the quotes). That started Calibre's editor and so I was able to edit two ePUBs without first having to add them to Calibre's library. Then I quit the Calibre editor, then Terminal.
Am unclear, however, where/when I should add/run the above script, which - if I understand the discussion correctly
- would keep the Calibre editor in the dock and have it behave more like an independent drag-and-drop app.
My questions reflect how little I know about the inner workings of my Mac or applications generally:
* Do I enter that script code: in Terminal? Automator? Somewhere in Calibre's preferences?
* Is that script code ALL that I type? OR…,
* Should I type '/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/ebook-edit' (in Terminal?) before I type out that script code?
