sorry for all the newbie questions. i'm a little confused. the --recurse command adds the books but isn't the auto-add command from the GUI? is there a command for the auto-add feature in CLI?
I guess, in the end if it adds all the books from the specified path, it's the same thing. The path I'm using is a temporary holding folder in dropbox, so overtime a book gets dropped there, I want calibre cli to add the books, delete them the dropbox folder, and have it show up on calibreserver pointing to the respective port.
how would i amend the script?
/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/console.app/Contents/MacOS/calibredb add --with-library="/Volumes/Ministack/Calibre Library" --recurse "/Users/IS/Dropbox/Reading Books/" rm -r "/Users/IS/Dropbox/Reading Books/"
I'm asking because I don't want to put in something and have my entire Dropbox directory deleted!
