The little patch above is to make it so that the OCLC Dewey Codes are actually valid codes. Many of the entries seem to have FIC or B as the DDC, this just skips them.

I was in a "tag-like" custom column mindset when I mentioned Job Spy. DDC of course is just a simple text field, not a tag-like field. I should have said "Use Calibre Bulk Edit Metadata to delete FIC and B if you do not want them". Job Spy also has a special tool for wiping out comments-like text, such as DDC codes, for selected books.

FIC and B are non-standard DDC codes, but commonly downloaded. I have a lot of them. Personally, I prefer a FIC or a B (for Fiction or Biography) rather no DDC at all.

LC is generic. What one user may like, another use may dislike. Fortunately, Calibre has a lot of functionality to make both happy.
