Hi,

I use Calibre Portable in windows, I would like to use my SSD to speed up calibre but I have a small SSD, I would like to move application and metadata into the SSD and leave the books on the HDD

I found a bat file inside a folder in L:\Calibre Portable\Calibre\app\resources\ made by itimpi. Is this still recommended to use? It has a different folder structure than the Calibre Portable

I would like to retain the folder structure so I can just overwrite it with a new version of Calibre.

The easiest way I can think of is to copy everything into the SSD and symlink the Calibre Library which contains the book

The problem is the metadata.db and a json file is inside the Calibre Library folder.

Can i change the metadata.db location by adding a command to the launcher similar to the batch file?

Thank you!
