Mass-Import of PDFs switches Author and Title

BoppaBooie · 01-09-2022, 09:06 PM

I have imported over 250 PDFs that are part of a large collection of books into Calibre. After doing so, I see that every single entry has switched the Title with the Author. Is there an easy way to simply reverse Author and Title in settings?

Yep!
Select all those problem ones: Tap 'e' (bulk mode Metadata edit): Tick the box Swap Title and Author: OK

Quality check Plugin has MANY metadata tests to help identify issues (and a few FIX(es) to standardize others
