Is it possible to run two or multiple instances of Calibre on one computer at the same time using different calibre libraries?

That 'different libraries' is the key. As long as you do that, it's possible; look at the '--with-library' command line switch.

Hi,
I need to open two instances of calibre over diferent db in the same computer.
I've tried with --with-library parameter, but this only allows a single instance.

I'm runing linux with a virtualbox windows machine for the second instance and I'd like to run the two instances without the virtual machine

I use the second machine for pre-format of new books before to insert in the main library and use the first instance as reference while I'm working with the new books. Usually I add about 500 books at a single insert.

thanks
