Programmatically adding custom columns
What is the interface to add custom columns? (stand-alone program run via "calibre-debug")
Background: I'm trying to programmatically prepare and populate a full library and I have several non-standard info to handle. If I understand it correctly I can stick arbitrary data to Metadata instances before I call "db.add_books(my_list)", but, in order for this to work the custom columns should already exist. I would like to avoid creating them manually in the UI. TiA! |

easiest to use calibredb.exe for this. It has an add_custom_column action
