Massive metadata grab
New to this group but I have an odd question. My metadata has gotten screwed up, so I want to bomb it all in calibre and redo it. I DON'T want to have to do it in groups of 100, as I have 16k ebooks in my collection at the moment. Is there a way to turn off that 100 group cap in the metadata download or am I just humped and am going to have to wait and hit ok 170 times to fix my metadata.

Jobs keep running after the first 100 chunk is done so you can let it run for a while and come back and hit ok to apply the data, let it do its thing and then hit ok on the next batch and so on.
If you have enough memory it shouldn't be too big a deal. I have 4 gigs of memory and let a batch run on 1,000 books and Calibre was eating up nearly 1.5 gigs but I was able to finish. Restart Calibre and then let another big batch run and repeat. |

There are programs that will automate mouse clicks for you so you can run it over night.
