Thanks JimmXinu, I will check out the Modify ePub plugin.
Dwig, The problem with doing it that way, is that it *requires* doing everything within the gui. I have a largish number of files to deal with and I do *not* want to have to modify metadata on every one of them when ebook-convert does just fine with the correct switches on the command line. It IS a long command line, but I only type it once!
As in:
for file in *.htm; do
title=`cat ../../title/$file`
echo ""
echo " Title is "$title
echo ""
oldfile=$file
newfile="${file/%htm/epub}"
echo " Converting "$file " to "$newfile
echo ""
echo ""
/usr/local/calibre/ebook-convert $oldfile ../epub/$newfile --input-profile default --output-profile ipad --no-default-epub-cover --no-svg-cover --base-font-size 10 --remove-paragraph-spacing --remove-paragraph-spacing-indent-size -1 --unsmarten-punctuation --disable-delete-blank-paragraphs --insert-metadata --max-toc-links 0 --no-chapters-in-toc --toc-threshold 0 --author-sort "Me" --authors "Me" --publisher "Me" --title "${title}"
done
ebook-convert *seems* faster than the gui too, although I doubt that that is actually true. Maybe it's because I don't watch it while it's running.
