last_modified column, which would defeat the goal.
For the short term, I'm going to start by making a complete CSV file for each library that contains all the preexisting data, then add a
#custom_last_modified column to each library. At that point, I'll have to probably write a script to to fill in the
#custom_last_modified data using
calibredb and the CSV file data. If I get really ambitious, I might add some other columns like
#last_merged and
#last_library that get filled in by a Template function. Considering the number of old libraries and backups, maybe a small database to track data changes would be more useful. Getting into the project-creep at this point.
Otherwise, thanks for the pointers!!
