There is no reason you can't place the associated files for a ebook in that directory. Clicking this link will open the directory where that book is stored (see attached). If you look at the book details window you will see Path: Click to open Hovering over it will tell you the path to the directory in a tooltip. Or I could keep two copies - but taht seems wasteful.Ĭouldn't there be a way to browse and input a directory into a field.Īlso a side side note - anyone know how to show the isbn in a column? Or I could put a link to the file in the calibre library - but that is always changing (at least for some time). Sure I could know to search calibre for it - but would have to create some kind of file to tell me there was one. In fact I have been torn in some cases - such as with course guuides for video courses or audio courses - of putting the guide in calibre - because of losing it in the directory where the relevant files are. Maybe that is also the solution for the above - just allowing the database to store the file/directory location in a field - and so you could click on that and get to the files. It would be good to have a way to have a link to a directory where related files are stored. Most of the time I have these embedded in the pdf - but not always (and what if its not a pdf). I have a lot of music books with the music files to go with the sheet music or lesson. On a side note there is also the issue of ebooks, particularly pdfs, that are associated with audio or video files. But that I think would be a bit more complicated. It seems that it would be best to keep audio books associated with other audio files in another directory - given the needs of the player.Īlthough that brings up a second issue - althought to me a secondary one - having calibre integrated with an audio program so that you could tell it to play the book from calibre. First - I would not want calibre to store the audio book in the directory it creates - but a link/shortcut to it would be great. And many ebooks I also have in audio form as well. They are part of my book library after all - not just my music library. I would love it if I could use calibre to also catalog my audio books. Although not as simple as at first it seems.
