Hey,
Sorry if this is in the wrong place or a dumb question. I've spent awhile trying to find an answer but have had no luck.
I like having lots of tags in my calibre library. I would like to use the goodread’s genres as tags. For instance for
https://www.goodreads.com/work/shelves/58373422 I would like to blacklist stuff like ‘to-read’ and ‘2018’ but download ‘romance’ ‘high-school’ ‘contemporary’ ‘emotional’ ‘friends-to-lovers’ ‘suicide’ ‘made-me-cry’ ‘angst’ ‘tear-jerker’ ‘mental-illness.’
My issue is that I have only been able to successfully add one genre that works as a tag. I added ‘dark’ as a goodreads genre in the metadata configuration and mapped it to the calibre tag ‘dark.’ However, when I add ‘suicide’ as a genre it will not download as a tag.
I’ve spent the past couple days trying to figure out how to do this. No matter what I do, it seems as if the only genres that will download as tags are the ones that come preconfigured with the goodreads plugin. Except for ‘dark.’ I’m kind of dumb so if I’m missing something really obvious please be nice.
The ‘max number of tags to download’ is set to 99 but when I download metadata for this book the only tags I receive are ‘romance’ 'young adult’ ‘contemporary’ and ‘dark.’ I don’t recieve ‘suicide’ ‘made-me-cry’ or ‘angst’ even though I added them to the plugin in the same way I added ‘dark.’
The ideal solution would be a way to blacklist some genres (ie. ‘to-read’ ‘2019’) while downloading a set amount of the rest of the most popular genres, say the first 20. A solution without a blacklist would be totally fine though, sanitizing my library is one of my greatest joys.
I have no idea if this is even possible to do.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to do this I will love you forever.
Sorry for the awful formatting.
