Automate Calibre Tagging
I was wondering if there was a simple way to automate metadata in Calibre in an "if then" sort of format e.g. if a book was tagged "history," then add value "textbook" to custom column. It's easy to tag everything when I add it to Calibre, but I would love it if Calibre would then automatically add the appropriate items to custom collections I have set up.
Thanks! |

One of these perhaps
•If-then-else ◦contains(val, pattern, text if match, text if not match) ◦ifempty(val, text if empty) ◦test(val, text if not empty, text if empty) •Iterating over values ◦first_non_empty(value, value, ...) ◦lookup(val, pattern, field, pattern, field, ..., else_field) ◦switch(val, pattern, value, pattern, value, ..., else_value) •List lookup ◦identifier_in_list(val, id, found_val, not_found_val) ◦in_list(val, separator, pattern, found_val, not_found_val) ◦list_item(val, index, separator) ◦select(val, key) ◦str_in_list(val, separator, string, found_val, not_found_val) •List manipulation ◦count(val, separator) ◦list_difference(list1, list2, separator) ◦list_equals(list1, sep1, list2, sep2, yes_val, no_val) ◦list_intersection(list1, list2, separator) ◦list_re(src_list, separator, search_re, opt_replace) ◦list_sort(list, direction, separator) ◦list_union(list1, list2, separator) ◦subitems(val, start_index, end_index) ◦sublist(val, start_index, end_index, separator) http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/template_ref.html#id39 Helen |
