Hi Folks,

I miss the following Function in Calibre, I name it "Predefined Export Jobs".

<USE CASE>
I have many Groups of Books that have to be Exported in different Ways.
For Instance:

1. Group
Virtuel Library: vl:"ToppicA" or vl:"ToppicB"
Exportparameter: {authors}/{title} - {authors}

2. Group
Virtuel Library: vl:"ToppicC" or vl:"ToppicD"
Exportparameter: {tags}/SomeText {series_index:0>4} - {title} - {authors}

3. Group
Virtuel Library: vl:"ToppicD" or vl:"ToppicE"
Exportparameter: {series}/{series} {series_index:0>4} - {title} - {authors}

and so on...
</USE CASE>

<Now>
I have a Cheat Sheet with the Relations between the Virtuel Libraries and the Exportparameters, and before I launch an Export I have to register the Parameters in the Export Section of the SetUp Dialog.
And I have many Virtual Libs only for the sake of Export.
This is not very comfortable.
</Now>

<Then>
There is a "Books Export"-Button (or something else) which provides a 'Predefined Export Jobs' Function, which invokes a Sub Dialog.
Here you can define or launch one or more 'Predefined Export Jobs'
One single Entry in the List of Export Jobs Table contains the following Information:

Line in a Table:
1. [CheckBox] select for Export
2. Name of the "Export Job"
3. Search Expression (equal to the Search Expression in a Virtual Lib)
4. Exportparameter (equal as in the Export Section in the SetUp Dialog)
5. Description (Free Text)

Dialog Wide:
[Button] Add new Entry
[Button] Remove selected Entry
[Button] Export Selected
[Button] Cancel

The Table Contend has to be saved in the Calibre Workspace.
</Then>

I hope I could describe what I would like to have, and I hope somebody can develope a Plugin which solve the Problem
