@DaltonST: Thanks for providing a bridge between Zoteror and Calibre.
It seems to me that I have the same problem as @excaliber. I will use his explanation of the procedure he (and I) was using and qualifying some of the aspects with my experience:
Quote:
I have a folder with books and I import them into Calibre as well as into Zotero.
(1) I fetch the metadata in Zotero.
(2) I export the metadata to a csv file.
(3) I import the csv file into Calibre via ZMI. (1st button)
(4) I highlight the new books in Calibre.
(5) I select the csv file (2nd button)
(6) I try to update the metadata of the new books in Calibre. (3rd button)
-> 0 books updated

Before starting the above procedure:
I am working on a OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite).
I created in Zotero (Firefox Plugin, not the standalone Zotero) for test purposes a folder with just two books. I added exactly these two books into Calibre independently from Zotero via their ISBN and collected their metadata within Calibre.
(1) and (2): I'm exporting all data from a folder of my Zotero library into a CSV file. Maybe important(?): I have ZotFile installed.
(3) to (6) Same as @excaliber with the same result: 0 books updated.
But I could update the books when I used the ZMI button for manually updating a single book.
Other experiences:
- After doing (5) I got the message that three rows of the csv were selected (but I have only two books in it).
- After selected the two books in calibre I had to change to ZMI in order to press the button. It seems to me that ZMI deselected my selection.
Any idea what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Peter
