I had to back out Calibre 3 and return to Calibre 2. I run the server from the GUI, with no userids and with a virtual library specified.
As far as I can determine,
1. Calibre 3 shows multiple libraries. This will confuse my users, as (a) they are both named "Calibre Library" and (b) one library is a working version with only a few transient books. I would like to hide the other libraries from the users.
2. Calibre 3 does not limit the users to a specific virtual library. I could do this by activating user authentication and having them login, but they are not accustomed to this. I would like to be able to specify a virtual library for all users.
3. Calibre 3 shows the virtual library selection criteria. This is a cosmetic issue, but I think that it might be confusing. (And I may not want them to see "not tag:MyLittlePonyCollection" ... 'cuz they'll call me a Brony). I would like to hide the underlaying tags for the virtual library.
Are there options in Calibre 3 which allow me to achieve my goals?
