This plugin allows you to store the name of your imported file in a custom column.
Special Notes:- Requires calibre 2.49.1 or later
- It only stores the name when a new book is added to the library, not when a file is added to an existing book.
- No menu or toolbar entry. Customization is accessed through Preferences -> Plugin
- The last one version will try to migrate the configuration, as it's now based on file and not on the database.
Installation Notes:
- Install from Preferences -> Get New Plugins, or download the attached zip file and install the plugin manually
- Restart Calibre
- Configure the plugins from Preferences -> Plugins
Configuration Notes:- The plugin uses up to four custom columns, these should be created via Preferences -> Add your own custom columns before configuring the plugin.
- The column type of three of them must be capable of storing text and the other one of storing dates. The drop down selectors will only offer columns of the proper type - i.e. no numbers, Yes/no, etc.
- A custom column name must be specified in the File Name variable.
- The File Extension and File Folder variables are optional, i.e. they can be left empty.
- Configure the plugin for each library where you want to store the originating file name.
- Leave it unconfigured if you don't want to use on a specific library (eg News Clippings).
- The configuration, including column names, can be different for each library.
- The column name can be different across libraries
- If the File Extension column name is not specified, then the full file name (base name.extension) is stored in the File Name column.
Otherwise, the base name is stored in the File Name column, and the extension is stored in the File Extension column.
- If "Include folder" is checked, and File Folder column name is not specified, then the complete file name including the folder path is stored in the File Name column, with or without extension, depends on File Extension setting.
Otherwise, the folder path is stored in the File Folder column, and the file name is stored in the File Name column, with or without extension, depends on File Extension setting.
