[bug] problem using calibreportable.bat

Dopedangel · 12-22-2010, 12:12 AM

I am using calibre-portable.bat to have the same settings in calibre on different computers using dropbox. I have been able to set the calibre setting and metadata succsessfully but setting the library is giving me problems.

I am using
SET CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY=%cd%\CalibreConfig
SET CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH=%cd%\CalibreConfig\ metadata.db
SET CALIBRE_LIBRARY_DIRECTORY=%cd%\Library

The first two commands work but the third one is not working.
I have my directories as

My Dropbox\Library
My Dropbox\CalibreConfig\metadata.db
My Dropbox\CalibreConfig

But calibre creates a directory My and is not recognizing the
"My Dropbox\Library" as path

I am not sure if this is a bug or limitation of windows but for one command it works for another it doesn't so I thought it could be bug.

Put your path in quotes. "My Dropbox\Library"

I am using %cd% as the dropbox location is different in both computer so wont using that defeat the purpose
Or are you just talking about my post above

In the last line of the .bat file, change:
%CALIBRE_LIBRARY_DIRECTORY% to "%CALIBRE_LIBRARY_DIRECTORY%" (add the quotes)
