Hey, thanks for all the hard work.
I only have one question: Is it possible to create separate "profiles" in Calibre?
I mean, for example, there are two users who have Calibre Companion on their devices and have rated and read different books, so when they both connect to Calibre, it updates the tags of the same library with the new information (rating, read date and read status) of both of them. Is there any way to, for example, have an Profile A for person 1 to update their ratings and other tags and a B profile for person 2 to update their tags and keep them separate from each other?
I don't want to combine the modifications (ratings and other labels) that the other person has made to their books with mine, I want to keep them separate because each of us has different tastes and have read different books (this is important because we both have a Goodreads account and Calibre has a plugin to sync those tags from Calibre to Goodreads) but we use the same library.

I know I can connect with Calibre Companion using user A and B but, they don't have separated tags they share all of the information, is it not?

Sorry about my bad English, it's not my primary language.
