If you manage your library in a non-standard way, don't be surprised when Calibre doesn't support your methods.

Well, one user's "non-standard way" is another developer's "novel use-case". Regardless of the semantics, the follow-up discussions have encouraged me to explore the virtual library functionality of Calibre again and see if it might be workable. Might not eliminate all of the libraries I'm using, but consolidate the main ones I interact with.

I would suggest using a custom column that has a fixed set of values - eg "To Read", "Working", and "Finished Reading - to determine which VL a book should be in. This ensures that a book can only be in one VL.

That sounds like a good way of doing it. Thanks.

You know that you do not have to pollute your book titles in the library with series / series numbers AND you can still export book with filenames that have series - series number - title - author in the filename?

Yes, I was aware of that. Think I still prefer the series incorporated in the base meta-data. A non-standard way I'll probably stick with. Horses for courses.
Thanks all.
