Look into calibredb though. If you're able to learn how to use it I'd be surprised if it wasn't possible in it. |
I figured out a bit of a workaround.
Just create a title/author column in the .csv you are importing and enter "unknown". If you are importing into a library and you have the column for whatever identifier you are importing, then that identifier will import. If you are importing into a library that has those books already with those identifiers then the books will import. However, only books matching the identifier will import.
I have found that creating a blank library and importing the list as books and then using the duplicate finder to match up books in the library I wanted to import the list in by identifier, and then creating a .csv for those books only helps. Anything else I would download the metadata using the identifier.
