Hi folks. I have 45,000 books across 7 Calibre libraries. I want to use calibredb to create catalogs for all the libraries and merge them into one .csv file to make it easier to find all of an authors books, regardless of genre.

The documentation for calibredb isn't clear enough to help me do this successfully. For my test, I tried to catalog my archive library
C:\"Program Files"\Calibre\calibredb catalog archives C:\batch\test\archives.csv

But I get:
Failed to initialize plugin: 'C:\\Users\\Dan\\AppData\\Roaming\\calibre\\plugin s\\DeDRM.zip'
Usage: calibredb.exe command [options] [arguments]

Can someone explain to me how to write a script that actually works, please?

Thanks!
