Basically i have the same need as you two above.

On one hand i sometimes autotag on import a certain quality of an ebook like i said the language the book is written in or the country of the authors.

On the other hand i give my own verified tags to my books for example #Crime or #Thriller instead of Crime or Thriller. So i know i have given those myself and the genre i like the book to be in, is as i want it. And yes some of the social metadata tags are extremely weired.

Still i like to get an idea how other people tagged a book, especially when i don't have any insights into the book at all. Most of all i definitely don't want my own tags overwritten. So until now i copy and paste 'em back after download, which is painfully laborious.

So is there someone who knows if there is a tweak? I have looked at the post i mentioned above and i must say i m not a programmer. I do program a function or other in VBA for my spreadsheets, but that s about it. So i am not too happy about altering sourcecode. If there is no alternative maybe someone could give me a little help there? I had a look at metadata_single.py and it is easy to find the lines for the tags, but i am not sure how i must alter those.

At line 775 fetch_metadata starts:
Code:
	
    def fetch_metadata(self):
And line 818 gives the code to add the tags (At least that's what i think):
Code:
      
                        if book.tags:
                            self.tags.setText(', '.join(book.tags))
I don't think it can be too hard to alter the line so that the tags are added rather than overwritten.
