Download Metadata: Genre
Hi,
i have many epubs imported in calibre and most of them have no genre metadata. i marked all epubs and started the download metadata, but after that, the genre information is empty. Is there a way to let calibre download the genre, like thriller, history, etc.? Thx k. |

How do i enable metadata tags in calibre? i thought that would be automatically enabled?
i have tested several metadata source plugins, like amazon.com, amazon.de, google, overdrive: Some have the "tags" in the description (i have the german version: so it is called schlagworte or etiketten), but no plugin filled the tags. Example-Book: Author: Tess Gerritsen Book: Harvest (Aug 1, 1997) in german: Kalte Herzen. Last edited by kerting; 08-22-2012 at 03:31 PM. Reason: new facts |

There are 2 layers: 1 Overall (Tags must be enabled for the next layer to work for Tags) 2) Per source. Select the ENABLED source, then click the Configure source button near the bottom. My guess this approach is to allow you to exclude sources for different types of metadata that do not meed with your style Not all sources furnish ever kind of metadata |
