Hello @cpina , are you still working / updating this plugin? I need a plug-in that does the reverse/inverse of what this plug-in does. But preferably if this does the 2 streams/flows is much better!

I use Caliber as my primary book management platform. (but everything I have in my Caliber also has Google Drive).

But not everything I own in Caliber I have at Mendeley (or would like to have). Often the files that go to Mendeley come from a refined search of Caliber.

My main problem, therefore, is:

I need a plug-in that sends the books (from the result of a search, for example) to Mendeley WITH THE METADATA contained in the Caliber.

If in the Caliber a certain book has X, Y and Z as tags I need as long as I transfer to Mendeley, X, Y and Z to be in the Mendeley tags field. Just like in Caliber.

Nowadays I can even "drag and drop" books from a refined search that I make in Caliber. But when the files arrive in Mendeley these files / books assume their names and fills of ORIGINAL / CRUS fields. We do not take any data that we fill in the Caliber.

How can we solve this?
