Use Copy to Library to copy any title that has a 'Original_*', the clean out all the OTHER FORMATS in the copy_Library |
thanks - I'd considered those, will probably use the 1st one. I did a trial run & it only took a minute or so for 600+ files - so I coudl forget about incrementals & just redo all, as needed.
I also tested with save to disc for a single title & I am pretty sure that save (original_epub) to disc does NOT update metadata, unlike with save (epub) to disc. That seems inconsistent , but it suits me.
What I've yet to puzzle out is the best way of adding any original_epub file(s) back Into calibre library, into the correct folders within the "black box" structure, and in such a way that calibre knows that they are back again. I suppose the answer be that if I'm wanting to revert to those I may was well delete the other formats, rename the file(s) and use add books, but I'd then lose any other colelcted metatdata for the title(s) in question
