So if a GUI plugin exrcutes a db.add_book() many times quickly, how does it now (5.7) notify Calibre to update the Cache from the physical DB so that the library_view can be subsequently updated from the refreshed Cache? That is the very real problem. 5.6 could do that. 5.7 now requires a Calibre restart to show the new books, which is unacceptable.

I tried using the "bookedit:" message in a loop for each new book_id, but the Listener refuses the connection because it sources from an unknown server.

Is a GUI plugin now considered a different program?
