I guess that makes sense. I'm fortunate that some of the devices I use are 64, but as I don't have admin rights, and as I regularly move between devices, portable is my only realistic option.

How many books? Just shy of 149000, and several custom columns.

to get the currently opened library or for other libraries
Code:
from calibre.gui2.ui import get_gui
library_broker = get_gui().library_broker
newdb = library_broker.get_library(library_path)
Note that using library_broker requires calibre >= 3.0 |
Thank you for the advice, Kovid- I hope the developer of the plugin sees this, and applies it (and maybe makes it work in 32bit!). It would be a brilliant addition to the plugin-list.
