Excellent! Thank you for such a quick reply.

This command definitely meets my specific need. I can generate a BibTeX catalog with:

Code:

calibredb catalog calibre.bib --with-library ~/Calibre/ --entry-type=mixed --citation-template="{author_sort}-{title}-{pubdate}" --sort-by=author_sort

And there are more options for bibtex files:

Code:

calibredb catalog calibre.bib -h

So that is great.

For other plugins, does this mean that there is no general way to run any non-GUI plugin from the command line? Again, I'm sure it is doable with a short Python script that loads the module and uses the run() function. But I wanted to check first to see if there is already a command for this.

Thank you!
