Kode · 11-02-2014, 07:28 AM

I'm having some issues using ebook-meta but it only seems to happen to some formats.

epub files seem to work fine.

lit files don't work at all.

Code:

C:\>ebook-meta zoe.lit --title "test"
Original metadata::
        Title               : Zoe's Tale
        Author(s)           : John Scalzi [John Scalzi]

Changed metadata::
        Title               : Zoe's Tale
        Author(s)           : John Scalzi [John Scalzi]

lrf file meta data can be updated but --cover does nothing

mobi files metadata updates fine, but --cover doesn't seem to work all the time, no errors are produced though

--get-cover works for all of them though.

When I looked in /src/calibre/ebooks/metadata/epub.py there are references to creating covers, mobi.py also has some, but lit.py doesn't have anything.

Any ideas?

*EDIT*

Interestingly using ebook-convert using the same format for input and output *does* work, so if there is no way round it I can use that, it just takes a LOT longer
