Hi Calibre-Community,

I have a question to which I couldn't find an answer in this forum (or online)

– maybe someone knows an easy way to do this (hoping, hoping).

I use calibre for several years now to organize my academic books and research articles.

Now I try to find an easy way to copy the metadata of a certain book in a spezial order.
My idea is something like this: I select a certain book and when I click a button, I copy "[author last-name], [first-name]: [Name of the book], [City], [Date]." to the clipboard.

Is there any way to do this? (Within calibre, or with a plugin?) Or is there a way to write such a little plugin for a noob in programing like me?

Thank you all for your great work! I really love calibre
