@mariaclaudia:

The bar "|" in the author name column in the authors table is correct when there should be a comma (",") because you have chosen LN,FN (Last Name, First Name) for the author column. The bar tells Calibre that it should display it LN,FN.

"Julio Ramon Ribeyro" displays as "Julio Ramon Ribeyro"

"Ribeyro| Julio Ramon" displays as "Ribeyro, Julio Ramon".

So, what you found in the authors table is interesting.


Please do this:

[1] Install the "Quality Check" plug-in by Kiwidude.

[2] Set "Search Scope" to "Library".

[3] "Check Metadata" > "Check Authors" > "Check Authors Missing Commas".

If it finds them, "fix" them so they are properly LN,FN.

[4] Do the [3] but "Check Authors with Commas". 100% of the books should be selected. This is a double-check on [3].

[5] Run ABCH.

[6] If ABCH is wrong, try this: Copy some of the incorrect books to your new library, deleting them from your big library. Switch to the new library, and copy them back to the big library. Run ABCH. Did it fix them?
