Calibre ebook + make series series#
P.S.: Reimporting the books is not an option for me for I don't have the files anymore.Ĭalibre - switching title and series column Is there a one-click solution to switch the title and series columns for several books? Or is there a specific setting that has to be used during the metadata downloading process that tells Calibre that the book title is in the series column? "Death on the Nile" would be in the series column, "Hercule Poirot Mystery" in the title column. comments on the net is not working because Calibre does not know that the title is found in the series column.)Įxample: Author: Agatha Christie - Series: Hercule Poirot Mystery - Title: Death on the Nile. The problem is: For books which are part of a series, Calibre added the title of the book to the series column whereas the name of the series is in the title column. All went well, the metadata were imported correctly to Calibre. In most cases the file name was author - title.epub. I have imported many ebooks and the metadata were taken from the file name.
