Custom file format (audio, video, iso,...)
Hi,
I request that caliber can be customized to add ANY file format (other than ebooks). Example: add iso file, audio or video, ANY file specified by the user using custom code. Many Thanks. |

You can already add any format to a book file. I use 0-byte .paperbook and .overdrive formats to define physical books and loans, respectively.
I use Action Chains for adding. Last edited by ownedbycats; 03-21-2024 at 03:27 PM. |

I'm against that idea since I would prefer calibre to remain as an ebook library manager.
I do not see much of a use case for being able to import random files into my calibre library since you can already store random file types in the data directory. |

OK I tried Action Chains but it seems complex and Its interface on windows is different from the screenshots above. I wonder if there an easier solution.

I have a shortcut to calibre.exe in the Windows Send to, so I add all formats via that… to the appropriate library. I agree with DNSB to a some degree, if you want to put Gone with the Wind (the movie) with Margaret Mitchell's book of the same name put it in the book's data folder. But I also have a Media library full of audio and video clips. The MP3/4 files etc are in the book folders - along with TXT transcripts and translations.
