Tag many books at once?
Still new, but trying to learn and understand Calibre.
I have imported a VERY LARGE library of ebooks, but the metadata was not well organized, so I'm manually updating the metadata. I am trying to do this in chunks, but it's difficult to know what I've done and what I haven't done yet. Right now I'm doing them by format. I have X in the ZIP format, etc....but that won't continue working because a few formats have waaaay too many books. I'd like to select all the books I've done here so far and tag them as "done" or something similar so I can use the tag to track books I've done and not done. Is there a way to select many books at once and assign a tag to all of them? I don't see how to do it. |

Control-A selects all
or Select 1st book ,hold Shift and scroll down to last and select last will select x books I use a custom column to do this rather than tags as you can see it at a glance in the GUI. Helen |

Sorry if I was unclear. I know how to select many books at once. How do I tag them all once I select them?

Nevermind...I think I found it now. "Edit Metadata in Bulk" from context menu.
