Awesome. Brilliant.
Could he add similar functionality for GoodReader as well. Since iBooks does ePub + PDF and now that we are moving to - Marvin : ePub - GoodReader : PDF Given that GoodReader may not even read or need a lot of the meta-data and functionality it might be as simple as copying the files ... BUT.. directly via Calibre > iOS interface. Thoughts? |

How does one delete a series from Marvin? I am sure that it is simple and staring me in the face, but just cannot figure this out. Much thanks for help!

Changing collection name in Marvin?
I just got my first iPad, discovered Marvin, and am loving it so far.
Is it possible to change the name of a collection once you've created it? Also, can a book appear in more than one collection; "Paranormal" and "Sookie Stackhouse," for example? Thanks! |

With Marvin connected to calibre, type the following text in calibre's search box: Code:
series:true and ondevice:true Within that list, you can click on the Series column header, then group-select the books you want to delete. Click Remove books, then Device to remove from Marvin. Or, you can right-click for a context menu, then Remove books, then Remove matching books from device. This will work if the books were added to Marvin from your calibre library. If the books came from another source, switch to the Device view, showing the books installed in Marvin. If you've added the books to collections in Marvin, you can filter the list to a particular collection by typing Code:
collections:foo Otherwise, you can sort by author, then group-select the books to delete. G Last edited by GRiker; 06-15-2013 at 08:54 AM. |

BUT.. directly via Calibre > iOS interface. Thoughts? Maybe your scripts/ driver can become the "base framework" for add-on drivers/ scripts to push MEDIA into Non-Apple / Non-iBooks apps on iOS. e.g. If I wanted to push/pull stuff to and from Marvin using Calibre, I'd wish to do the same for GoodReader (PDFs) and the best .MOBI Reader out there. Slight changes and we could push out a new driver for any "Brilliant" new reader. |

Supporting a particular reader application is very much a cooperative effort which must be initiated by the reader application's developer. I have posted a detailed description of what's required of the application on the iOS side, and made available the calibre side of the Marvin driver as open source. You can find all of that at the GitHub repository. I would encourage you to contact the developers of the reader applications you'd like to see added, and suggest to them that they consider adding the functionality to their apps. G |

@chilady1. You can't delete a series from Marvin because a books series is encoded as metadata inside a book. What you can (but probably don't want to) do is edit the metadata of each book in the series and remove the series from there.
@dandelioncottage. To rename a collection, tap the pencil icon in the organizer and tap the circular icon next to the name of the collection you want to rename. Yes, a book can be in multiple collections. |

It is being developed right now. There are no problems whatsoever (it's actually coming along quite splendidly). Many changes in the new iPad version are prerequisites for iPhone.

I will connect with GoodReader folks as such. But, in the meantime assuming until they find the time or feel like doing it. What could I do on my own as a community member to build some kind of add-on to your framework for GoodReader? Would it be possible to patch together and have some minimal functions working without getting co-op from them? |
