The 'conflicts' are an artefact of dropbox. To avoid them don't run calibre and dropbox at the same time - it's as simple as that.

IIRC you suspend/resume Dropbox via its right click menu. Doing it in a script would just save you the effort of doing each step manually - and having to remember them.

Anyway I'm just repeating myself so ...

Ahh, sorry about that, I went back and read my second post. The word pics is a typo, I meant PCs. Yes I do have pictures in Dropbox but we have no conflicts with them. Apologies for the confusion.

Yes I think I understand what you are saying about suspending Dropbox while I use Calibre to add or edit items, you mean pause the sync. At least I think you did. I will have to remember to do it as I wouldn't have a clue where or hoe to load a script, plus I have both windows 7 and a MAC to deal with.

I'm going to let all PCs sync to Dropbox (and back down again) and see what I have. If all looks okay I'm going to count myself lucky and not worry about conflicts anymore, just try and only use one of to maintain Dropbox and the other two for enquirys only.

Thanks again for your help and advice
