Pretty sure I could script that with udev. Don't assume yours is the only way.

What I do is my business and I'll thank you to let me be the one to mind it. However, I prefer to have a screen full of text when I'm doing stuff rather than a big window full of book covers. To me, being able to manage and sort and preprocess and do all my other magic without needing a gui is of far more value to me than Calibre could ever be.

You'll forgive me but you have no idea of the world I live in. You don't know what you are talking about.

I dont' use collections but when i did, i used the PRS+ option that sorted directories into collections. Now that I have series info in my filenames, I only need to search for that.

This one is correct.

I respectfully disagree. I can always change how I present my data and rerun my script against my library.
