That's exactly what --width is for. As noted in its documentation. You either specify it, or if you dont then it will use screen size. So if you want to pipe, use --width=whatever you like.
And as I stated at the start, if you want to use calibredb for data processing use --for-machine. Widths are not the only thing that will go wrong when using the for humans output of calibredb list. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1893367 Title: calibredb list checks terminal width even when output is being piped To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/1893367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
