Also, what are the newly inserted numbers at the end of the folder names of the books? I am now working on our audiobooks, started a new thread on folder locations. |
Numbers match the internal DB record number.
Never mess with the contents or you could end up with another kind of mess .
The OPF in the folder IS the current (within a short time of an update. ) metadata shown. The book only gets updated when you do
the something that causes that.
Use Save to (your export) Disk with the options:
Save cover seperatly
Save Metadata in OPF file
This way allows export support for formats that either don't have metadata support or can't be updated
