Book path export
Is it possible to include the path for a book in the data export to CSV?

If you mean in the Create catalogue feature, it reuses the last location you selected - for me that's the This PC->Desktop

After some digging, I found the function to use as a template in a custom column. {:'formats_paths()'} And voila!! They appeared. |

The generic path formula is: Authors / Title (ID) / <all formats, cover, metadata.opf> |

I'm using the path data as part of a CSV I export, then import into another cataloging application so I can get a single-pane view of all my books, both electronic and physical. |

@CSHusVar - FWIW many calibre users catalogue their physical books in calibre alongside their digital books. Usually differentiated into virtual libraries in some way - e.g. #book_type 'digital', 'paper', 'audio', 'missing' etc.

Right now I'm using Readerware to catalog my physical books. I've found that it's easier to export the data from Calibre and import them into Readerware. Going the other way doesn't allow for the import of metadata already present in Readerware. At least as far as I know...
