I am really dumbfound what to do since this is something I havent really expected.
I traded some ebooks with a friend and I received number of books in EPUB format.
I imported them into calibre and I changed metadata (title,author,series) on some books.
Example:
Title:
01 Canticle (I changed to) Forgotten Realms : The Cleric Quintet 01 - Canticle
Author's:
Forgotten Realms (I changed to) R.A. Salvatore
Series:
The Cleric Quintet (I changed to ) Forgotten Realms : The Cleric Quintet
I opened/closed calibre many time as it took me almost a week to do this with about 100 books.
Then today I opened one of books folder (in calibre database) and I copied the ebook that was inside to my desktop.I imported the same book to calibre using "Add Books" icon but when calibre imported the book ALL the changes I made to this particular book (Title,Author's,Series) went back to its original state before my changes......meaning my title that I changed to be:
Forgotten Realms : The Cleric Quintet 01 - Canticle
went back to:
01 Canticle
I am very frustrated by this
and if Kovid or anyone else can please explain to me what I did wrong and why calibre doesnt save when I change Metadata.Also when I press "View" button inside calibre to open the book, front page always shows old Title,Series...etc not the new one that I changed it too....
Any help is much appreciated...
