I usually run Extract ISBN plugin before doing the metadata download. That seems to help get the right edition.

Goodreads v1.7.2 Released
Release Notes
https://github.com/kiwidude68/calibr...odreads-v1.7.2 Not convinced there ever was an issue to fix at this point but this code should ensure that if similar comes up again it definitely is not being caused by the Goodreads plugin handling of empty comments fields. |

Is there any chance of putting in the option to deselect the title/author/series in the plugin for filling in the metadata field rather than having to deselect them for all?
I want to keep Amazon's title and Authors (Amazon authors don't space between periods) but keep Goodread's series since Amazon tacks "The" and "Series" at the beginning and ends. The plugin may use the title/author/id for searching but whether or not it fills the field should be an option. |

Looking at Rellwood's post, it seems that automatically combining the output of the two metadata downloads is what they want to do without having to do two metadata download passes.

I thought that is just down to the limitations of how calibre matches books - and unless the titles match exactly you are SOL. Or are they saying that setting the title/author to null means that calibre will "automatically" merge the results it finds? Even if you could that sounds way too dangerous/misleading for all the times that the goodreads search finds the wrong book and you wouldn't know it because calibre would present the results of the Amazon title/author...

The goodreads and Amazon plugins themselves don't allow you to deselect the title/author/series.
If I could go into the Amazon plugin and select title/author and the Goodreads plugin to only select the series. The main edit metadata field that mass selects the fields can be filled in but the plugins themselves could be edited to download only the fields i want from each one. This would allow all the plugins to get the fields but only selected fields will be chosen from each plugin (i hope this makes sense). They can fetch the data but I only want specific fields filled in by specific plugins. Last edited by Rellwood; 01-26-2023 at 09:54 PM. |

I could be wrong as not looked at the calibre code but I suspect it would require a significant calibre metadata API change to support what you want. Or it could simply be the case that I could just add title/author to the set of configurable fields and it just works - would have to experiment... Last edited by kiwidude; 01-27-2023 at 12:50 AM. |

Also, Calibre will use title/author/isbn(if available) no matter what fields you choose to fill in. Even if you deselect every available field they will still come back with a book and the id's. The id field will get changed. |

It is why I always recommend never using the calibre bulk metadata download option. There are certain times with calibre where you have to eyeball the data you are accepting if there is the possibility it is wrong. The situation I was talking about was if by setting title/author to none prior to where it merges the results of the search and letting it show you as one line item (if it worked that way) - it would create a lot of garbage entries over time for people who don’t prepare the correct goodreads id first. |

The logic of the plugin is to: - Use goodreads id if it has one - If it doesn't, try to find the goodreads id based on either ISBN or ASIN identifiers if it has them - If no goodreads id found by any of the above means, fall back to a title/author search. |
