Adding Books to Calibre via Windows 10 SendTo Menu?
Is it possible to add a shortcut to Calibre via Windows 10 SendTo Menu?
As I get books from various sources and some of them seem to end up on my Windows Desktop before I add them to Calibre. Would be great if I could right click the SendTo Menu & have a Calibre Shortcut there. To add them to Calibre quickly But it has got to be a simple answer for me maybe |

What works for me is creating a shortcut to calibredb.exe, then adding add parameter. However, that doesn't work if Calibre is already running.

I renamed the shortcut to force it to stop of list. Caveats, books will be added to 'current' library, I use an Intake library so I make sure it's current before I start adding. If calibre isn't running when I use "Send To _calibre" Windows will start it. To open the Send to folder Windows key+R, then shell:sendto To open the calibre start menu Oh, you can send multiple file in one Send To BR Last edited by BetterRed; 10-13-2019 at 06:01 AM. |

So I just add the shortcut to my send to folder?
That's what I was struggling to find lol Looked all through the calibre program folder. Had been looking for something that said calibre exe But trying that will give me time later to edit the books details. Last edited by Jo69; 10-13-2019 at 06:29 AM. |

SendTo is broken MS concept for people that never ever discovered files, copy & Paste or using more than a couple of applications.
I'd have shown my students, in the past, how to never use it. |
