That list represents an amazing amount of work by solution providers. I was going to quote it, but I think it would start meaning about a couple of posts per page if I and everybody else did it. So, my thanks to you all.
IF I had a Christmas Wish, it would be for there to be a plugin to document various Calibre settings in a way that would allow all or part of those settings to transfer from one library to another. For example, I have an incoming library where I process any new books, before parceling them out to my various sub-libraries. One of the things is that I have several people, all with different things they want to search for ... ie. authors, tags, comments-contents, etc. The latter is no issue, but the first two actually require that author or tag to be IN the library before I can add them to their personalized searches. So, if my mother wants to add Janet Evanovich to her search list, I have to HAVE Janet Evanovich in the current library for her to be added to Mom's search. I have to fake in an Evanovich entry, add her as an interested author for Mom, and then remove the ersatz book. I'm constantly being asked to watch for so-and-so's book that was talked about on some show or another. Problem is, I have no way of watching for an author, other than to resort to the ersatz solution, even if the person who is asking is ME!
Documentation would help me see where I might be MISSING somebody's request. And being able to add from either previous documentation of even a text file, would certainly help me maintain my place as the family librarian.
Again, thanks to all for all that they do.
