I've read all relevant threads in this section (45 pages), yet I couldn't find the answer.

I am looking for a software, for windows (version is probably irrelevant, for the functionality is kept simple), which should do:

list all books in a directory or a directory-tree, preferable showing the book cover, author, titles, maybe year
searching for metadata (author, title, edition, year, language), tags, fulltext
optionally order them physically in that tree (create and populate said tree)
accessing the book means to give the opportunity to copy that epub file to a place of choice (like downloading)

Calibre is close, BookFusion even close (but it goes outside the system), other projects are dead or mobile (IOS/android).

It should not:

edit books
delete books
store, read/download etc. to/from outside the system (computer) - no "clouds", no nothing.

It is completely irrelevant and probably not wanted to manage portable devices - it's enough if it "downloads" the epub from the collection to a directory of choice. All my ereaders can organise the books by themselves.

Is there such a wonder software?
