Help me with organizing and viewing covers
I have calibre 4.11.2 and I use Windows 10 home 64-bit.
Here is what I'm doing I like to read my ebooks on my laptop and I plan to keep doing it that way mostly since it makes it easier to read for me then on tablets. But I will be updating my tablet a bit to make reading ebooks a bit more easier. But for now I am using my laptop.
So here is what I want to do I want to know if its possible to view details on file explorer in the "Details Panel" for ebooks once there selected rather then opening the ereader to view information. Plus is there a way to view the cover art for the ebook on file explorer as well. Plus is there a way to better organize the ebooks. I normally get ebooks from amazon the free ones or ones I pay for or even download from free ebook sites and convert them to pdf. But once I save the converted files to pdf and save them into a folder each book gets 3 file types and then I also get the 3 files in a folder named after the writer and not in the ebook title name.
I know I'm asking a lot of questions but other have used this program a lot more then I have so here goes the questions listed below.
(1) Can I view actual information in the file explorer rather then opening the ereader each time I want to know more information about a ebook?
(2) Is it possible to view ebook (PDF) files cover art in file explorer?
(3) Is it at all possible to to save a converted ebook (PDF) file in a folder name the books title rather then the authors name?
(4) Is it possible to save ebooks with specific keyword or tags so I can hover over the ebook file to help with organizing the ebooks.
Example of 1 when I click on and select a ebook file to view its full name I would like to be able to see cover art and other details in file explorer.
Example 2 same as 1 but including cover art if possible.
Example 3 when I save multiple converted pdf files to a folder on the hard drive all I see are folders named after the author not the actual ebook title. And I never download a book based on the author just the titles. So I would like to organize by title not author.
Example 4 I would like to have some assistance with organizing the ebook files if possible. example if there are any cookbooks I would like them place in a folder called cookbooks but if the title contains the word "Cookbook(s)" - "Recipe(s)" - "Cook(ing)". I would like these marked some how so that I could get help with organizing them. Or if its at all possible to organize by specific words I would like to do that if possible.
Now here is the reason why I'm asking I don't know much about how to use the program and don't even know if I'm asking this in the correct location. All I know is that I keep hearing about how amazing this program is and was wondering if this is at all possible to do with the program or if I need to organize all the ebooks myself one by one.
If someone already knows how to do this or if there is a tutorial on how to do any of these things please point me in the correct direction I would be greatly appreciated.
THANK YOU!
