Calibre/ePub Metadata
Sorry if I should have found the reply in the Manual/Forum: tried but didn't.
Is there a way to tell Calibre to pick the data from a custom column on conversion and add it to the converted ePub metadata? i.e., Code:
<meta name="DC.source" content="{#source}" /> Last edited by carmenchu; 09-05-2011 at 05:27 AM. Reason: Unreadle |

No, there isn't. custom column metadata is only set when you export a book from calibre.

Thanks -- glad to know.
Further: would it be possible through a plugin? If yes, I would try to understand python/plugins... |

Not via a plugin, you'd have to modify calibre source code.

Using the Modify ePub plugin with the "Update metadata" option will embed the custom column metadata in (I believe) the same way that saving to disk does.
The latest beta release at this point in time is here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...19#post1629519 |
