- REM Batch File to start a Calibre configuration on Windows
- REM giving explicit control of the location of:
- REM - Calibe Program Files
- REM - Calibre Library Files
- REM - Calibre Config Files
- REM - Calibre Metadata database
- REM - Calibre Source files
- REM By setting the paths correctly it can be used to run:
- REM - A "portable calibre" off a USB stick.
- REM - A network installation with local metadata database
- REM (for performance) and books stored on a network share
- REM
- REM If trying to run off a USB stick then the following
- REM folder structure is recommended:
- REM - Calibre2 Location of program files
- REM - CalibreConfig Location of Configuration files
- REM - CalibreLibrary Location of Books and metadata
-
-
- REM -------------------------------------
- REM Set up Calibre Config folder
- REM -------------------------------------
-
- If EXIST CalibreConfig SET CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY=%cd%\CalibreConfig
-
-
- REM --------------------------------------------------------------
- REM Specify Location of ebooks
- REM
- REM Location where Book files are located
- REM Either set explicit path, or if running from a USB stick
- REM a relative path can be used to avoid need to know the
- REM drive letter of the USB stick.
-
- REM Comment out any of the following that are not to be used
- REM --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SET CALIBRE_LIBRARY_DIRECTORY=U:\eBOOKS\CalibreLibrary
- IF EXIST CalibreLibrary SET CALIBRE_LIBRARY_DIRECTORY=%cd%\CalibreLibrary
- IF EXIST CalibreBooks SET CALIBRE_LIBRARY_DIRECTORY=%cd%\CalibreBooks
-
-
- REM --------------------------------------------------------------
- REM Specify Location of metadata database (optional)
- REM
- REM Location where the metadata.db file is located. If not set
- REM the same location as Books files will be assumed. This.
- REM options is used to get better performance when the Library is
- REM on a (slow) network drive. Putting the metadata.db file
- REM locally gives a big performance improvement.
- REM --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- IF EXIST CalibreBooks SET SET CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH=%cd%\CalibreBooks\metadata.db
- IF EXIST CalibreMetadata SET CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH=%cd%\CalibreMetadata\metadata.db

-
- REM --------------------------------------------------------------
- REM Specify Location of source (optional)
- REM
- REM It is easy to run Calibre from source
- REM Just set the environment variable to where the source is located
- REM When running from source the GUI will have a '*' after the version.
- REM --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- IF EXIST Calibre\src SET CALIBRE_DEVELOP_FROM=%cd%\Calibre\src
-
-
- REM --------------------------------------------------------------
- REM Specify Location of calibre binaries (optinal)
- REM
- REM To avoid needing Calibre to be set in the search path, ensure
- REM that Calibre Program Files is current directory when starting.
- REM The following test falls back to using search path .
- REM This folder can be populated by cpying the Calibre2 folder from
- REM an existing isntallation or by isntalling direct to here.
- REM --------------------------------------------------------------

- echo "Press CTRL-C if you do not want to continue"
- pause

-
- REM --------------------------------------------------------
- REM Start up the calibre program.
- REM
- REM The use of 'belownormal' priority helps keep the system
- REM responsive while Calibre is running. Within Calibre itself
- REM the backgound processes should be set to run with 'low' priority.
-
- REM Using the START command starts up Calibre in a separate process.
- REM If used without /WAIT opotion launches Calibre and contines batch file.
- REM Use with /WAIT to wait until Calibre completes to run a task on exit
