Hi there! Long time user, first time caller
There are a couple of suggestions that I have that I hope you would consider.
1) I noticed that when I run the plugin and tell it to not update the metadata, that it does not update
any of the metadata including the date. Shouldn't you update that at least so that it shows the last date imported/packaged?
2) The reason I noticed this is because the Calibre default for author names that contain two or more names is to generate a "lastname, firstname" for the author sort. For example, "chem prof" gets an author sort of "prof, chem" and when my device sorts on author name I have to look for it down in the P's when I
want to find it in the C's. So I run the plugin on this particular author (as well as others) with the "Update Metadata" unchecked, which in turn does not update the (packaged) date. Is there a way you can either override the generation of the author sort so that the space either becomes a "hard" space so that the author name and author sort are the same value? Or maybe replace it an underscore?
3) This one's kind of a long shot ... you report on the title page the number of chapters. Is there a metadata equivalent that can be updated so that I can see it in the Calibre grid?
Love all the work you have done ... this has been a major time (and life) saver. Thanks so much for all your effort!
