Thanks.

I'm not really interested in getting metadata changes from the thumb-drive to the desktop. The desktop should be authoritative.



If I understand @ilovejedd & @BetterRed correctly, then syncing the files in the 'Calibre Library' folder in portable should be sufficient. Does portable scrape the directory structure for new additions at every startup? How would it know that there are new books there?
