Copy Book to Multiple Libraries at Once

SquiddOhio · 08-17-2013, 12:26 PM

I find the new feature where I can check off multiple email addresses to quickly send a book to more than one person to be very helpful. This suggests to me another feature which could be added, I would think.
I keep several libraries for friends and family which I use to update their large Calibre libraries with new books that I think they will enjoy from time to time when I visit. Since not everybody gets every book dumped into his library, I would love to see a similar feature added to the "Copy to Library" function, allowing me to check off which external libraries get the new book added to them.
Speaking of sending a book by email to multiple recipients, adding a feature to create "group" recipients, which most email programs have, would also be nice.
I love Calibre, and each week am delighted to see how a program I thought was practically perfect in every way gets even better.

If you want to create email groups you can do so by simply entering multiple addresses, separated by commas in the address field when creating a new contact.

Kovid:
Thanks for that note, as that is a feature I will use, and it was there the whole time.
Calibre continues to be fantastic software.
Thanks again, and keep up the good work.
