Hi,
I think i cant explain myself properly in English on this issue, sorry for making it complicated.
But my problem is very simple.
When I import to Calibre a book collection located in /home/user/Documents/Ebooks using" Add books from directories include sub directories (multiple books, every books is assumed as differents books). Everything works well despite the fact that .zip books and .rar books imported are generating duplicate books in zip format for each chapters of the books in .zip/.rar format.I give an example : I try to import book1.zip and book2.zip in /home/user/Documents/Ebook to Calibre library.
I use "add book ... (what mentionned above) " and then in my Calibre list i get Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3 ..., Chapter n) when i click on Chapter 1 it s open Archiv extractor and then inside i can open chapter1.html or chapter2.html etc ... but in Chapter 2 on the list when i click on it s also open archive extractor with the same chapter1.html chapter2.html etc.. so basically i have duplicate version of the book in .zip in every "Chapter n" folders.
So it s obviously using free space for nothing and doesnt let me read the book straight. I have to delete all the other chapter folders and keep just chapter 1 folder and rename it as the book to get the same... and not use free space for duplicate files.
Since Calibre is having this big issue in mass book import i thought much more better to not import any .zip or .rar books in Calibre library but just extract them all before in .html format or whatever their is inside, before i start to import the Ebooks folder to Calibre.
But I have thousand of .zip .rar books in my Ebooks folder and i wish to unpack them and delete them all in one terminal command before I import the folder Ebooks to the Calibre library.
So do you maybe know a command to do that ? I hope it s a litlle bit more clear for you to understand why it s not nice this way.
