Create catalogue without creating new files and folders?
Hi: I'm having a good time with Calibre; it's feature-rich and if there are bugs I haven't found them yet.
Questions: 1. Can Calibre change the metadata (author, title, etc.) in the original ebook file (Word, PDF, epub, etc.)? 2. Can I create a catalog that contains all the medata for my ebooks without re-creating the books themselves? I have a feeling that I can't be the first person to ask these questions, but I've tried looking at the FAQs, read a few of the pages of the "Catalogue" sticky, and tried a few key-word searches without success. If these questions have been answered, please feel free to scold, but please point me to the relevant thread(s). Thanks. |

(BTW, Calibre does not handle Word documents, .doc format, other than to just store it.) |

Hi, Starson: First: Wow. Thanks for the very fast, courteous, and on-point response. May I ask some followup questions:
1. Is there a way to get the Calibre copy of the original document to retain the original file title? (I use: author last, author first - title, while Calibre places the title first.) 2. Is there a way to get Calibre to re-export ebook files back into a folder structure that duplicates the original folder structure? In other words, I would like to recreate the newly-updated files in their original folder structure. Thank you again. |
