Only part of it (file details for PDF) or tags in Windows explorer
(2) Is it possible to view ebook (PDF) files cover art in file explorer?
Yes (not a Calibre issue, its PDF thumbnail previews on windows) I use Windows 10. My default PDF program is PDF-XChange Viewer
For Acrobat: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/usin...-explorer.html
(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?
Yes. You need to use the "Save to disk" button in Calibre and it will create a copy of the file in your choosen folder.
Go to "Preferences / Save to disk/ Template" and create a template with the file structure you need
(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.
Yes. Use the "Create catalogue" button.
But you should prefer to work inside Calibre: Start with a "Right click" over a book, choose "similar books /Tags" (or use saved searches, or just ordering rows).
But you will end up opting for "Virtual libraries" in Calibre |
Okay first of all I did tinker with the settings in windows 10 home so I could change my folder icons. And I turned of thumbnails so now I guess I will need to turn them back on. Once I do hopefully I can see cover art rather then just the google chrome icon. Its not to easy to see the books especially books with longer titles. Its nice to see the cover art and be able to see what your clicking on before you click on it.
I will read through the tips you left me once I turn back on thumbnails. Thank you for the help I just didn't know if these could be done or not and if it was to be done in the program or in plugins that needed to be downloaded.
thank you for the help.
