Help with plugin writing

meme · 01-21-2011, 01:23 PM

I'm playing around with writing a plugin (I can get a basic script to run) but I was wondering how I can get access to the name of the mount point used by my device once Calibre mounts it. i.e. what code do I need to return the string that gives say "/media/Kindle" which is where it mounts for me?

I probably need to spend a bit more time looking at other plugins, though I haven't seen any that do this - if you know of any or code in Calibre that gives an example I'd appreciate the pointer. Maybe I should start with something simpler

Wow, was I offbase. Thanks! Too much reading of USBS device methods in the API and source...
