Okay... this is going to sound idiotic but... the CL for setting the metadata is:
calibredb set_metadata [options] id /path/to/metadata.opf

Would you mind giving me a practical example?
and yes... I'm having a slow redheaded blond moment here!

I figured out how to retrieve the list (love it!) with the calibre ID #s for the batch file, however, the user manual and the help features, left me a bit lost on exactly how to use the set_metadata function. What are the options they are talking about?

For instance... if I had this book:
Calibre ID: 4 (Author Name - Title - Series)
and I wanted to use the set_metadata option what would the command line look like to for the book with ID#4?

Second question... using the show_metadata function I noticed it lists the title and the author... is there a command line function that allows you to enter data such as the tags, comments or location of cover image?
