I guess I just love the way it looks when you see a nice summary in the comment on the book. If I let Calibre import using metadata, I get to keep that, but it makes an awful mess out of the nicely organized names and series info I've put in the filenames. As long as I leave that unchecked everything plays nice except putting the summary in the comment from the metadata.

What's especially odd/annoying is that in some cases I know these are books where I downloaded the summary into the comment fields a long time ago, and exported them with that, but that was before I fixed all the file names, and so the series info etc wasn't actually in Calibre before(so it can't import that if I let it run from metadata, and often I manually looked up a book and pasted the summary so the download function doesn't find it).

I've had a look at search and replace, but I'm not sure it will work in this case.
Is there a way to get it to search in the metadata of the book(which I think is where Calibre saved the summary before), pull the data from that field, and input it into the comment section?

I can use search and replace to move stuff around, and used it to fix titles etc before, but this is data that exists somewhere in the book, but not in a column in Calibre(unless I let it pull all the metadata and make a mess again).


EDIT: Looking into the files, I can also see an ISDN in some cases, is there a way to bulk pull that value from metadata and feed it into a column using search and replace? Then I might have better luck with the download function to find the summary instead.
