Unhappy beginner question

Hi,

I am writing a plugin but I missed a point, how to add a books from a file on disk to the Calibre library?

This should be very obvious for many people, but I dont find how to do it in the Plugin API doc. If somebody could point to me an short source example, or the place where it is in the doc, I would be very grateful.

Bye

You need to get a database object and use one of the methods on that. Look in database2.py for the interface to the database. And assuming you are writing an interface action plugin, you get the database by self.gui.current_db
