Can I save the list of my e-books in a file?

Tolkamp · 07-24-2011, 12:31 PM

Is it possible to store the list of the e-books in my library (only Author -Title) in a seperate file? This means not the complete library contents, but only a list of books.

Look at the calibre Catalog facility to achieve this. There is a whole forum area dedicated to this.

Where can I find Calibre Catalog Facility?

You are probably betst starting of with the forum sticky about this from the top of the Catalogs section of the forum.

The option to create a catalog is accessed via the sub-menu from clicking the down-arrow at the right side of the Convert Books icon on the main toolbar.

Just my opinion of course but I think the Catalog stuff is on the wrong menu. I think it should be on the "Library" menu, as it really doesn't have a lot "to do" with conversions. In fact I have the conversion toolbar/menu removed for space reasons (since hitting C gives me all the conversions I need) which means if I did want the catalog functionality I can't get to it, but that is just my setup

When I create a Catalog of the books in my library a giant Exel file is generated.
How can this Exel file be converted to a readable catalog?

You've chosen CSV as the output format. Select EPUB or MOBI instead.

I have selected EPUB as output format and now the catalog is generated as expected.
Thank you for your help.
