@
HarryT - I'm with you on this
I used Dropbox for a while. but not for calibre data, IIRC it has CLI options for Pause and Resume. So one could script something like
dropbox.exe -pause
calibre.exe --with_library "blah blah blah"
dropbox.exe -resume
But I'm not sure what would happen if calibre was restarted for some reason (add/remove a custom column, added a plug-in, restart in debug etc). Would the
dropbox.exe -resume be executed before the restart, would it be the same on the 3 OS's.
And IIRC Resume is option on the dropbox tray item context menu - whoops.
