BetterRed,
That's simple - I thought it would be a be way for others to access specific book genres via the file system without Calibre.
I love how Calibre makes it easier to organise books, electronic or dead tree. Others dont care as much. They just want easy access to them. That's why I thought it would be easier for them to use the file system.
Only I use Calibre to organise the books, but I need to let others access them. My idea was to keep the Calibre library and it's mirror on a network drive and use permission controls to lock others out of Calibre's library and only give them access to the mirrored hardlinked directory.
If you feel like laughing now feel free. Because it wasn't until I read yours and orebmur's post I realised what a disaster I'd create for myself if I had actually done that.
I know what hard links are, heck all my systems are linux. And yet . . . It's amazing how stupid a person can get while trying to be to clever by half!!!
