[GUI Plugin] Quality Check
This plugin is intended to help you identify covers or book metadata that may need editing in your library that the normal calibre search criteria cannot identify, or is more conveniently accessible. It also offers a battery of ePub quality checks to help you identify ePubs that may warrant further attention to remove cruft files, reconvert etc. You can also search across your ePubs for ad hoc criteria to find text or specifically named items using regular expressions.
Amazon Fire users will find the Mobi checks useful to identify books which will not show in the correct folder due to internal metadata issues with the ASIN or cdetype. For the OCD types, this plugin can be used to find books that need better quality covers based on physical or file size to be sourced to replace those in your library currently. You may have noticed when editing individual books in the Edit Metadata screen that your book has a red colored background field indicating a potential problem. This plugin allows you to bulk find all such books in your library so that you can resolve any issues such as by using the bulk metadata edit dialog. A separate "Check missing" menu offers a quick way to serch for common missing data without having to remember calibre's search syntax. Main Features:

v1.1 Released
I've added a few more checks to this plugin. Most of these replicate what you can do with saved searches, but I just found it convenient to include and saves the user the effort of creating them.
Additions to v1.1:

Another brilliant Tool !
Why not fix thinks before Catalog fails, etc. Works fine so far here ! Actually found that 2 new Calibre Catalogs had Author_sort mismatch ;-D (Author:calibre, Author_sort:date of creation in Danish format/language) |

![]() I'm glad you found the Author_sort mismatch, but these mismatches don't mean your catalog will fail. I have a few dozen Author_sort mismatches and catalog creation works fine. I often enter the author_sort field with data that doesn't match the author field. This is a feature, not a bug and I use it often. |

Eh? The catalog generator only looks for author_sort mismatches on the same author (and only during MOBI generation). I'm not sure what failure you're referring to with title articles in reference to catalogs.

The plugin (and the Red Title-sort box) indicated a mis-match and I thought all mis-matches caused problems. ![]() |

v1.2 Released
This adds a single new feature of "Check and fix book size". This will iterate through all of the book formats in your library and update where necessary the internal Calibre file size that is stored.
So if you make a habit of editing your books once they have been added to the library (such as editing an EPUB in Sigil), you can use this function to ensure your file sizes stored in Calibre are up to date without any re-adding of the book format to Calibre. |

Lovely-jubbly.
I asked about filesize-update to be incorporated into calibre ages ago. Thanks. |

I had a filter in place when I ran a Covers quality check.
Those were the only ones that got checked. A great time saver ![]() |

Indeed, sorry I should have mentioned on the first post that was the behaviour applied. Glad it was a nice surprise for you
