MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - calibre - Not using existing metadata from *.opf files when Add books

Hello - this problem has resurfaced again. I have tried with calibre 1.22 and 1.25.

PDF books, even though "Save to Disk" from calibre; do NOT get added with the correct (updated) metadata when using the Multiple Books per Directory option.

Also, a secondary and separate issue. Based on all of the various postings I could find here, I expected basic PDF metadata (i.e. title and author) to be updated when the PDF format is "Saved to Disk". However, that is not happening. The PDF file is completely unchanged from the external orignal. So the ONLY place that has the correct metadata is the .opf file. Even these PDF books written to an ereader have the old/incorrect title and author info.
