Bummer.
Not sure if this is doable on a Mac, if its not then get rid of it
- Create two sets of configuration data, one (e.g. calibre/books_config) with the tweak set to 'comma' the other (e.g. calibre/magazines_config) with the tweak set to 'copy'.
- In a script that starts calibre pop a question, "Configure for Books or Magazines?"
- Set the CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY environment variable according to the response - to calibre/books_config if it's 'B' or calibre/magazines_config if it's 'M'. See Environment variables
I've considered doing this on Windows, but my Portable solution does the same thing without having to write and maintain an automation script - my motto is 'Less is better, but least is best'.
What we want is a plugin that sets the
author_sort_copy_method tweak to a designated value when a specified library is opened at calibre start or a library switch - maybe someone will put their hand up to write one
