Hi all,

Thanks for the work on the attachment, I'm really enjoying it so far.

I was hoping to use this to import links to each book, leaving the Calibre Library directory as the single source of everything.

I read through the thread a bit and saw that there were previous issues with this, sometimes depending on directory names and filenames. I also saw that there were a few workarounds, including copying files to a temp directory and pointing there.

I just wanted to see what the current status was, and whether or not it's possible to accomplish this linking at the moment.

(Note: in my exported RIS file, I do see M2 tags that point to the correct directories, as well as L1 tags that point to files in /tmp.)

Also, if there is a way to accomplish this by changing the naming scheme within Calibre somehow, I'd be willing to try that!
