Is there a way to set a different layout for each calibre library? For example revealing the cover browser for library 1 and hiding it for library 2.

Additional info:

I've separated the files I manage using Calibre into three libraries— one for comics, one for books with covers and another for books without covers.

Usually I hide the tag browser, cover browser, cover grid however I thought it would be nice to use the cover grid for comics at least. But I can't seem to find a way to turn the cover grid on when I switch to that library.

I hope I am not missing an obvious solution. I tried searching for a solution and found the View Manager plugin which seems to manage everything but layouts.

Perhaps I am not supposed to treat different libraries like different profiles or maybe no one switches libraries that often to need such a feature, but Calibre can set a virtual library automatically when a certain library is opened.
