  • Litterature
    • French
      • Dumas, Alexandre
      • Hugo, Victor
        • Hugo, Victor - Notre Dame.epub
        • Hugo, Victor - Les Misérables
    • American
    • English
    • German
  • Philosophy
    • aesthetics
    • moral
    • politics
    • epistemology
  • Science Fiction
  • Poetry
  • Science

Because Calibre Only takes meta data to organize books inside the Library.


Is there a way to import my hierarchy "by subjects" inside Calibre Library?

Maybe there is an easy way to find all the "litterature / french" ebooks and tag them inside Calibre after import ?




Thank you again for your explanations

François
BR's advice is good. Let Calibre manage you book Library.
Now, if you want them delivered to a device in the above hierarchy.
that is probably possible using Hierarchical fields/tags
Litterature
French
becomes: Litterature.French

Your export template will get a whole lot fancier
Sample of the JUST the series portion of mine
Code:
template("-series/{series:subitems(0,1)||/}{series:subitems(1,2)||/}
to handle the difference between a simple series and one with branches
