I see an 'export data' option in the CLI help comments. Is there (or could there be) an option for getting inventory information much like (ideally exactly like) the calibredb 'list' command?

I have some scripts that will sweep a folder structure and look for any file not already in calibre, and create load instructions to get it loaded. This means I need to get the list of files already in calibre (currently done with calibredb), which means I can't have any other calibre jobs running. I can handle the interactions between libraries -- don't look for 'files in calibre' for a library that is having its inventory changed -- but it would be good to be able to get the title list while I've got a job running on another library.

Thanks!
