I'm looking through the source for calibredb and noticed that while some commands (add/remove/add_format/etc) send an IPC message to the running GUI to refresh, other commands (set_custom/add_custom/etc) do not. And I can see the difference in the running GUI.
Is using calibredb while the GUI is running: allowed, not allowed, or only allowed for certain commands?
The only reference on the calibredb manual page is the --dont-notify-gui option which implies it is allowed.
The only other reference I've found says "don't do custom columns while GUI is running", but it is quite old.
