I have a script to add books to my Calibre library. I've just added some custom fields to the DB and would like to be able to set those from the script DURING the "add" command. Is this possible?

I know that I can make this work by running:

Code:

calibredb list search.....

(to find my newly added book)

followed by

Code:

calibredb set_metadata .....

but it would be nice to do it in one command.

Thanks!
