Yes, the install I was talking about and the one I am playing with at the moment is local on PC, using library in NAS and local metadata.db - and the latest script works perfect

thanks
the only thing is that the message about right portable location appears regardless whether you are using the script for truly portable install or simply to customise local install (in which case it is a bit confusing _ I simply ignored it, but it is not very neat).
Remember that the script can be used for:
Code:
# By setting the paths correctly it can be used to run:
# 1 - A "portable calibre" off a USB stick.
# 2 - A network installation with local metadata database
# (for performance) and books stored on a network share
# 3 - A local installation using customised settings
whereas, at the moment, if it can't find it, it seems to assume that it is portable installation 1
I will play with portable one tomorrow (it's getting late here and I got early start tomorrow

)
