Hi,

is it possible to store the database (and ebook-files) on removable disk and use them on two different Computers with an portable Version of calibre?

I tried to copy the database-file (metadata.db) along with the ebooks onto removable disk, removed the entry "library_path" from global.py and tried to import the database on removable disk -> calibre crashed ...

Any chance of putting calibre itself on removable disk and get settings from a global.py in program-directory (maybe with a non-absolut path)?

regards,
Friedhelm.
