Good morning.

I am using the Goodreads Metadata Plugin, and I have an error in the mapping function.

I originally reported this to the main bug system - https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/1540848, but was referred to this forum, as it appears the 'bug' is in the plugin. Full details of the circumstances are posted in the original bug report.

A high level summary - In Preferences - Adding Books - Create rules to filter/transform tags.

I have set up some rules:

An Example - 'Replace the tag, if it matches pattern: biog*
with the tag: Biography

When I run 'download metadata in bulk' the above tag ends up biographyphyphyphpyphyp, and variants. Some of the residual original tag info is added to the end of the long line, no spaces are copied or added.

I am now using Calibre 2.51, Windows 7 64 bit. In my original report, I was using 2.50.1

Thanks - shirley
