Merge book by error
Hello,
I was editing my tags and did a kind of drag and drop from a book to another. And by error I clicked on "Return" button before noticing it. So I validated the window asking if I want to merge 2 books. Were checked: Merge Metadata Merge formats Delete Merged books Is there a way to identify which book was merge on which one (some logs maybe) ? Thank you |

Hello,
I found where the book moved. So now I have another problem. In have now:
In fact only the epub version moved from book 1 to book 2. I can notice it, because when I ask to visualize the book 2, I see the epub of the book 1file that is different of the metadata and cover of the book 2 So now I would like to move onlw the epub file from book 2 to book 1. How can I do it ? |

Hello,
I replied to myself. So I went to the folder where are physicaly stored the files. I openned the folder where are the 3 files (docx, epub, mobi) I openned each one with Summatra PDF and the are the same book. So the question now is why when I do "View" from Calibre it shows another book ? |

1) on Book 2 in Calibre: Tap 'O' (open file location); (Leave Explorer open) 2) Now on Book1 in Calibre; open the Metadata editor ('MDE'): Drag the format from explorer into the formats section (this is NOT an OS move) ; OK 3) Back to book 2: Open the MDE, select the format: delete (the recycle icon);OK This way Calibre maintains the correct data |
