SUPPLEMENTARY QUESTION

Actually, it is kind of the same question.

I can now more easily add an ebook via the command-line using its folder, but whereas with my previous method, I could see a resulting entry, just not the formats, now I don't even see that.

So I still need to do the Quick Switch database thing, if calibre is running.

So is there some method to do that via command-line code? Or to somehow have the ebook title & formats show?

P.S. This is not a big issue for me, as I could just make sure calibre is not running and start it after I have added all I want, but it would be nice if it were possible to have new additions show while calibre is running, so you can more easily see/check the result after each addition, without browsing (I have a very long ebook list/catalog in calibre).

Failing a solution though, I might just create a Dropbox method, that starts calibre when the Dropbox is closed.

Normally with AutoIt, I can interact with a program window, but calibre resists that ... probably because the GUI is not created using Windows API.

REQUEST or SUGGESTION
Have a HOTKEY for the Quick Switch menu item. My script can then use that.
