Question Auto Add with multiple libraries
I have two libraries and would like them to auto-add from different folders. Is this possible?

I don't believe it is as auto-add seems to be global so failing that how about library A auto-adds and library B doesn't?

If I can't do that I'll have to turn off auto-add which I really don't want to do.

If I do have to turn off auto-add is there a way to make importing from single directory a one-click process?

Advance Thanks

ps. if there's an existing thread I couldn't find so feel free to point it out.

@awfki - Autoadd adds to the current library, I suspect that's not going to change any time soon.

No you have to tell calibre where the books are, I'm not 100% certain but it may default to last location. FWIW You can select a a group of format files and drag drop them into book list

You could make use of the command line program calibredb in a batch script, in which you specify the path to the library, it has Add Books options.

Bummer, but that's what I suspected. I also bumped into Custom Columns being global rather than per library.


I'm comfy with CLI stuff so it looks that'll be the way to go.

Thanks

Custom columns are per library - well mine are at least

I copied the structure of my original library so it brought the custom columns over (and I didn't remember that till just now).

Use the add books from single directory, multiple books per folder -- granted its three clicks instead of one -- but other than that, it will work just like auto add.
