ebook-convert not adding authors (most likely a don't get the syntax)
I am using ebook-convert to convert HTML files to EPUB format, and I'm trying to use the --authors option to add the author.
The conversion works well, but when I add the epub files to Calibre library it says that the author is unknown. The thing is I am not sure how to specify a value for an option in ebook-convert, so I am probably doing it wrong. I tried so far: ebook-convert.exe in.html out.epub --authors Author ebook-convert.exe in.html out.epub --authors "Author" ebook-convert.exe in.html out.epub --authors=Author ebook-convert.exe in.html out.epub --authors="Author" I am using Calibre 2.1.5 64bits on Windows 7. Thank you very much. |

it actually works
Well, it looks like the first option actually works, but Calibre does not automatically set the author in the library entry based on the ebook metadata.

Yes, it does, unless you have turned off reading of metadata from file contents in the Adding preferences.
