Sounds like a good plan, will look into this.
Here goes another question, I already tried to post a reply but I think it got lost in the clouds
I would like to auto-populate a NON-user defined column "Tags" from my own User Defined Column for Genres in which I use a column type of "text, with a fixed permitted values" and list the various Genres I like to use rather then the mess that comes in from downloading the metadata.
I frequently share books with my Mother and as she uses calibre simple just to hold and send her books to her device. I do know I can have her recreate her library using my metadata.db, and then the information would be sent to her but I was just wondering if there was a way to do it this way?
