@
idoit - my use of Evernote relies on the same mechanism as eschwartz & I outlined in the thread you referenced in your first post, where file system URIs (which on Windows at least are not easy to get) are 'pasted' into long text columns (eg Comments) or the Author Link field in Manage Authors.
But, instead of a file system URI, I 'paste' a URI that 'points' at a note in an Evernote notebook (database), which are easy to get via right click note, select Copy Link.
The advantage for me of using an EN Note is that I can put more or less anything I like in an EN Note, and organise it as I see fit; rather than a bunch of folders and files that I have to organise within the vagaries & limitations of a file system manager. In many instances I was able to wrangle a folder of dozens of files into a single EN Note.
to Kovid for making the changes that were needed to allow 'unusual' URIs to be used in long text embedded links and Author links.
It is my perception that calibre will not, at least any time soon, provide a mechanism for storing multiple instances of the same format in a single book folders. The demand is low, the changes are fairly complex, and there would be an increase in the number of support 'calls'. So all-in-all the effort to implement this is probably unwarranted -- especially as there are several viable workarounds:-
- have two books (folders)
- bundle the extra format(s) into an archive that calibre does not ordinarily process (eg 7z) and add that to the book
- use links to files or folders that are kept outside the library
- use links to something like Evernote, OneNote or whatever
On a tangentially related issue, I would like to see calibre 'publish' a URI link to a book (database row) similar to the links that Evernote and OneNote publish for their notes (data base rows). Then one could paste a book URI in a long text column of another book - eg link
Les Chiens et les Loups to
The Dogs and the Wolves and vice versa. That may, at least for multi-lingual readers, make the 2 books solution more attractive.
