That's my fault, I haven't been precise enough : the
calibredb command is in fact a program, located in the Calibre program directory ; if you set the working directory to the calibre
library folder (as I instructed you before, by using the
cd command) then the system may not be able to find the
calibredb program. You have to specify the complete path to this file on the command line (use french quotes if there are spaces in the path) e.g. :
Code:
c:\data\dropbox\My Dropbox\Public\calibre_library>"c:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibredb.exe" list --output-format stanza --prefix http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/788541/calibre_library > stanza.xml

No, this wouldn't work ; in fact, with the command I described, the stanza.xml file is generated on your disk, in the current directory ; then, and because this folder is synced, it gets pushed to the web server...

Not at all, I just need time adapting my explanations : eventually, they will be clear enough for everyone to understand !
PS : I edited the original post, tell me if it's clearer !
