Where my recipes are kept?

bthoven · 02-25-2010, 04:31 AM

I have created my own recipes on one PC and I want to copy them to another PC. I can't find those recipes in the C:\Program Files\Calibre2\resources\recipes

Where are those recipes kept in the system?

Custom recipes are stored in metadata.db

recipes?? As in food? I am confused. I have seem the term used another time, here I think, in regard to ebooks and wondering if I am yet again missing out on something else that I need to learn

Recipes are my name for the scripts calibre uses to downloada particular news source. A recipe is basicallya set on infstructions that tell calibre how to get the content froma particular news source, just like a food recipe

Thanks! That is pretty cool that can be done with Calibre. I really need to look into it more. So far all I have done is add all of my ebooks to it

The RSS feed parser is quite strong. It's the most similar thing to my beloved iPhone Newsrack even if, of course, there is margin for improvement when it comes to reading there. Plus, I like the fact that you can store the news and have them in your reader for as much time as necessary, plus the content index.
I've put $10 already due to the AWESOME that this program distills.
