Hi,

I try to import a few books and at the same time try to fix the meta data.

So I set up a little shell script to do that using:

Code:

calibredb add --title="…" --authors="…" --tags=Fantasy --series="…" --series-index=… Filename.ext

Only to find out that calibredb add ignores the --title= etc. option and continues to extract info from the file name. Interestingly enough the --series option is also ignored and subsequently left empty.

Is that a bug in the current version, or has it always been like this?

Or is there something I do wrong.
