Here's how to request an Enhancement (New Feature) ==>> Bugs
Or, write your own plugin, perhaps by hacking Modfy ePub. Or edit the saved epub. Sigil's metadata edit tool is simple to use, especially to delete metadata elements. Or, there's Ben Chens Metadata Edit Tool, there's a thread for it somewhere on MR. BR |

I saved this book from my Test Library, with Save to Disk setting as previously suggested
It's attached, but here's a preview of the embedded metadata BR |

I dont see the point. Why would you want custom columns not present in your ebook but non-custom columns present? Either you sanitize the metadata in your book for sale fully or not. Why would removing some arbitrary fraction of the metadata matter?

So, uncheck Save to disk->Update metadata in saved copies option - you only need do this once.
Then, 'clean' the library ePub with Modify ePub by checking the Remove non dc: metadata elements Now do a save. If you want to do it in a single click, hack the Modify plugin to do the save after stripping the non-dc metadata - or write an OS level automation script. FYI: In IDPF speak a 'non-dc (Dublin Core) element' is a 'custom column' in calibre speak. Last edited by BetterRed; 03-15-2020 at 08:51 AM. |

No such thing. For instance, tags and series and ratings are non-custom metadata, doesn't mean they are always suitable for publication.

I can certainly see a usecase for a metadata sanitizer tool that strips out metadata except for a configurable set of fields. But given that this is so easy to do manually, and not something that needs to be done in bulk, I am not particularly motivated to implement it.

I do a couple of other tidy ups while I'm in Sigil - renaming the body files, epubcheck, moving the jacket page to the back… and deleting any metadata elements I don't want. BR |

Why are you so fixated on doing it within calibre, or by unpacking ePub and using a primitive editor and then repacking the ePub. Use the Sigil metadata edit tool, you can see it in the second screen shot in post #5. Select an element, press Ctrl+Del or click the Remove button, Save the ePub If you want opinion on this issue from people who make ebooks for a living the best place to ask at MR is in the ePub or Workshop forum. Refer them to this thread. BR |
