Aha! So the program itself contains a feature to generate customizable SysTray notifications.

Seems a very specific sort of thing, I don't think calibre is in need of a notification tooltip when you are in the middle of a book...

Mp3tag export file: checks, are the replay gain album gain and album peak values the same or not in the same album (for all selected songs/albums). Creates a playlist from items, where not.
Likewise, it seems to fulfill quite a specific need.

I suppose you could compare it to the pagenumber count in a book, or something... speaking of which, there is a calibre plugin "Count Pages", which can store the page count of a book inside a custom column.
A Save-to-disk template can factor in that custom column when generating the save path for that book.

Yes, the links seems to be broken. They all are a visual html appereance of one or more albums, in more graphical way. For this purposes I like more the foobar's look itself; but the mp3tag's export ability is a powerful diagnostic, backup and playlist creator tool. The biggest plus: loops (cycles).
Well, calibre2opds (see my signature) is capable of generating html catalogs of your books. And calibre includes a server that generates a dynamic catalog of your books.

Note: The server is currently undergoing a major, long-awaited rewrite, now is the time to offer input as to what a potential facelift might entail.




All these things are specific, narrowly-focused functionality. What features, in comparison, do you think calibre should have?
