Perferred output format based on library

richreads · 02-07-2014, 02:38 PM

Hi.
Is there a way to have the preferred output format differ for different libraries?
I run a couple of different libraries and I was thinking of setting kepub as the default preferred format for one and epub as the preferred for the other.

It seems that this setting is set per instance of calibre not by library?
Thanx.

@richreads The short answer is No

The long answer is that you could set up separate configuration folders for each library and set the CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY environment variable in a couple of scripts before starting calibre from the script. That would require you to quit calibre and run the relevant script when you wanted to switch libraries.

Or you could 'encapsulate' the two libraries in their own instances of calibre portable

That's what i was think I would have to do.
I'll look into the two instances of calibre portable - I hadn't considered that and it may solve my issue nicely.
