Question Adding books and tags
Is it possible to remove all existing tags from an epub when adding books to the libray?

I'm only importing a subset of goodreads tags when editing metadata, but it looks like the new tags are appended to the existing tags.

Usually I delete manually the existing tags - some being "unknown" or "SF00001" - but it'd be great if the previous tags could be removed automatically.

No. If you don't want your existing tags, use the bulk edit screen to remove them before you download the new ones. There is no option to toggle between "merging" versus "replacing" tags when downloading metadata - it always "merges". This is to ensure that any tags many users add to their book for other reasons (such as that you own it, have read it or whatever) are not replaced by the "genre" tags you are downloading.

Thanks, kiwidude.

I'll keep on deleting existing tags before downloading metadata.
