Version 1.0.27 Email a book while Calibre is not running. For Tags within an intrinsic (informal) "hierarchy", filter down from the "top" of the hierarchy to its bottom. Filtering-down is a method of drilling-down. CalibreSpy can easily do this because it is designed primarily for "filtering", not "searching".

See the attached example having 7 images arranged vertically.

If I start CalibreSpy from the GUI (I have it in my booklist context menu), and then press Esc or click Cancel in the Library selection popup, calibre terminates - IMO it shouldn't, it should return focus to the calibre GUI.

Version 1.0.30- 22 Sept 2018 Visualize Metadata with option to export the raw data to a .csv file. FTP book to a server. Full-featured 'Select & Open Arbitrary Programs and Files'. 'Clear All Filters' performance improved for large libraries.

See the attached image showing CalibreSpy viewing a Calibre Library located on a NAS (note the path of the Library).

CalibreSpy is always 100% read-only for book-related data and files in a Calibre Library. It does not touch anything of it.

In a simultaneous multi-user environment, CalibreSpy will not even save its own settings or current state for any user who was not the "first" user to run CalibreSpy for a particular Library. So, for those users, not only is CalibreSpy "read-only" for Calibre, but also for CalibreSpy.

An option will be added in version 1.0.31 such that even the "first" user can exit without saving any CalibreSpy settings (i.e., just as if they were not the "first" user). For that "first user", not only is CalibreSpy always "read-only" for Calibre, but can easily be "read-only" for CalibreSpy itself if they so wish.

Version 1.0.31- Many enhancements.


Many functionality enhancements related to FTPing of a book to a host (server or device), including deleting a book that was previously FTPd. Many different FTP settings are now supported to enable different users in a multi-user environment to FTP to different target devices or servers.

CalibreSpy will automatically change itself to "entirely read-only" mode if it is using a Calibre Library that it thinks is on a network so that even CalibreSpy's own settings will remain "read-only".

The Calibre GUI icon for CalibreSpy now has a dropdown arrow with options to start CalibreSpy in 'normal' mode or 'entirely read-only' mode. In a multi-user environment, 'normal' mode may automatically be changed to 'entirely read-only' mode if the user executing CalibreSpy is not the first user to use a particular Library at that instant.


New CLI command file option to arbitrarily force "entirely read-only" mode:

calibre-debug -r "CalibreSpy" -- --"S:\Calibre\CalibreJobSpyTest1" --ros

calibre-debug -r "CalibreSpy" -- --ros .

The "ros" means "read-only settings". CalibreSpy is always read-only for book data. The "ros" makes CalibreSpy's own Library-specific settings read-only too.


See the new CalibreSpy.bat command file template for permutations of the options shown above.

The CLI option of --ros should always be used for network paths.
