@sophieturgeon:

QuarantineAndScrub is an add-on (not just a plug-in) that has (among other things) enormous Work Tag functionality. Please read the 45 page User Guide for more details. It can be found at: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=247425 .

The one thing it does not do (yet) is to allow scanning of Comments to derive Work Tags. The reason it does not do it is that it did not occur to me until now. So, I am going to add that functionality too.

In the meantime, you can default Work Tag by Author. It will also derive Work Tags based on keywords in the Work Title (e.g. Mystery of the Dead Man" generates a a Work Tag of Mystery).

Work Tags are passed thru the Tag Rules Table to either delete or change them based on your rules. For example, a tag of "Mystery" in my QuarantineAndScrub ecosystem is changed into "Fiction:Mystery". You own the Tag Rules Table.

Multiple Tags can be winnowed down via the Tag Priorities table, which you also own, which is used by the Q&S "Minimize Work Tag" function.

And....well, there is way too much functionality to describe here, but suffice it to say that QuarantineAndScrub was designed for people with large (e.g. 30,000 ebook) libraries that are a mess. The User Guide is 45 pages in length for a reason.

If you choose to install Q&S, you will also have to download the official Q&S library (with metadata.db and .json) from the Q&S original post, and install it as described in the OP plus the User Guide. Q&S uses 42 (currently) custom tables and 32 (currently) views that Calibre knows nothing about. By no means is Q&S "just a plug-in".

The User Guide is your friend and source of support for Q&S.

Good luck.
