The website still has the same message about "if you're installing from a version older than 0.6.17...". Is that still true for this? Or should we uninstall any 0.6 version first?

yes it's still true. If you're upgrading from version before 0.6.17 you need to uninstall first. For versions after 0.6.17 you're fine

Hi I have made an account just to say this: 0.7.0 completely screwed up my reader's collection organization.
I've had about 700 works organized into 10 collections at this point, using criteria such as new fiction, old fiction, science, etc. Due to my e-reader's slow refresh rate, it helps to know exactly where books are located. However, this latest version of calibre automatically "updated metadata" on my books, effectively turning 10 collections into 200. My previously meticulously created collections have been destroyed, and the books have been scattered to the wind. A good deal of my books had no metadata, so calibre put each one in it's own collection based on title. Shall I find a novel in "Pesticides", "Man-Woman Relationships, Drama" or perhaps "Sisters -- Fiction"? Needless to say it defeats the concept of collections if each collection has only a couple books. Of course, I don't want to be entirely pessimistic so I offer the suggestions that you create a setting for automatically re-organizing the entire reader. I know the easiest thing would have been to not update calibre, or (God forbid) stuck to Sony's Reader Library. Anyway, I'll return to spending the next several hours deleting books and re-adding them Last edited by Demonthus; 06-04-2010 at 10:55 PM. |

calibre turns tags into collections. That has always been the case. You can turn off that behavior by going to Preferences->Plugins->Device interface plugins and customizing the SONY plugin to not use tags to create collections.
The only difference in 0.7 is that calibre automatically recognizes books on your device that are also in your library and updates their metadata. Most people would consider that a good thing. I've even added a note about that in the what's new page under Incompatible changes |

Deleting and re-adding them from your reader or from Calibre itself? Last edited by DoctorOhh; 06-04-2010 at 11:51 PM. |

What were you doing when you noticed extra collections? I have unchecked download tags in my metadata download plugins (under preferences - Plugins) in each Google, isbnDB, and Amazon. This stops tags from automatically being added when you download metadata. I hope you work out what occurred to cause this hiccup. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 06-04-2010 at 11:43 PM. |

Is there any way I can edit the metadata of books on the reader which are not in the calibre library? (800 books and 450 collections, haha) |

Calibre .7 application not loading...anything...
Hi,
Calibre user since late '08, had every version, just updated today (6/4) to .7 and... nothing. The icon doc jumps briefly, then nothing, and double clicking on the program in the applications window does nothing either. Restarted, same thing. Using: G5 Power PC w/ OS 10.4.11 Help! I love and need this program working, wish I didn't overwrite the old version... Thanks in advance - A.P. |
