Based on the past responses to this question, I am a little nervous to ask a similar/more basic question. I too do not know how to use a command line without step by step instructions. If you are over 50, then it is likely you NEVER had a formal computer class. Anyway, I'm frustrated with searching google for a simple way to open Calibre (seems I am not searching with the "right" question and going in circles). I've tried FAQs, looking at the beginner/intro videos, etc. This question has been on/off my back burner for months. There's so many things that can be tweaked in Calibre, awesome BTW, but it's hard to find answers sometimes.
I would like Calibre to open to the LAST view used and where I left off. It always opens to my full library at listing #1.
I tried Preferences--Look & Feel, Behavior--I can't see/missed any appropriate setting. I adjusted preferences within "View Manager" plugin to use the "last view used" but that doesn't give me the
content last viewed.
Lately my last view used is looking at a collection under a certain genre. The closest thing I've come to get what I want is by
creating a virtual library from that genre search. I added new books to the genre and they DID show up in subsequent uses of the virtual library.
It works ok, but is this the best I can get? Surely there must be a simple setting to open Calibre right where I left off when last used?
If it means using the command line every time to open Calibre to the place I left off, then I don't think it's worth the hassle.
Using 2.4.2, 64-bit. Thank U for any guidance.
