@BetterRed - Thanks for the tip! Your plugin looks incredibly powerful and really helps extend the core functionality! It Does exactly what i needed. However i have run into a slight snag with it. I have 5 librarys now that are all configured with their own auto-add folder. I've enabled and am using the the followings configs in tweaks > plugins

- Tweaks for per Library - 'Auto-Add Directory'
- Tweaks for per Library - 'Save to Directory'

However in my testing, i copied a .mobi book into each of the 5 watched folders to see if it would automatically import it and noticed that calibre would only import the book if i manually switched over to each library. That seemed to kickstart the auto-adding.

I was under the impression that calibre would be watching for books to land in these folders on a timer of say 5 minutes or so and that it would move the books without needing me to select each library to complete the auto-adding.

Is there an option i need to enable to always watch these folders?

Newbie here, so if you need me to do anything just ask and i'll try and test.
