There are two problems. The first is what is the name of the file which needs to be converted to a CSV format? The second problem is a hugely larger obstacle that obliterates the importance of the first hassle. Calibre's export feature is not an option that is available to me. I receive this error message when I seek to export:

"calibre, version 3.4.0
ERROR: Cannot export/import: You are running calibre portable, all calibre data is already in the calibre portable folder. Export/import is unavailable."

That is likely just as well, because it has been years (literally) since I edited a raw database table. I would be prone to screw it up to the point of being unusable, so your warning served its purpose well. I will just stick to using the built-in tag editor.

It would be rare that a new thread in any calibre forum doesn't get a response within a couple of hours or half a day at most. There are several moderators, plugin developers, and many others who are active on a daily basis - and most importantly Kovid Goyal (post count 31K+).

I bow to your superior knowledge of the workings of this discussion list. In my own defense, however, I have belonged to other discussion lists (yes, plural) where postings have been deliberately ignored, usually for a tin-pot god political reason, but ignored none-the-less.

Thanks for sharing that. If I ever return to a hard-drive installation of Calibre, I will remember that.
