Hi!

I'm working on some conversion which involves ODT as it's base format. But it seems that on the metadata side only the most basic properties are imported from the ODT.

You can add custom properties to a ODF file (File->Properties->Custom Properties), so it would be very easy to add stuff like publisher and dates here and add them to the metadata import for odt files.

Has nobody yet thought of this, or is this an unwanted feature? Or differently put: should I submit a patch for it?

The custom fields could be named 'opf.OPFKEY' to keep them separated from other custom fields and to prevent unintentional import of custom fields not meant for eBooks...

Cheers,
Oliver.
