Partially Paste Metadata
is there a way to partially paste metadata from one book to another (say Author, Publisher and Tags, but not Title, and Pubdate).
When downloading metadata I get after the download a Review Dialog where I can choose which metadata fields to copy and which not. I think of something like this for metadata copied via Copy Metadata... |

Ups, found a solution via https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=293035 and then https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...6e44e3edd31bdc. -Cool!
However, is there maybe a UI plugin wrapping this tweak? |

The Edit Metadata drop down has the Copy and Paste options.

There is a UI for the Copy and the Paste function but not for the options which columns to exclude, right?

It's a Tweak, so, you edit the same as every other tweak, via the Preferences->Tweaks tool. Search for 'exclude'.
Type the column names as a comma separated list of single quoted strings, don't forget to prefix custom columns with a '#'. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 03-10-2020 at 04:36 PM. Reason: typo |
