When I add series info into the books in Calibre Library, there will be series and series_index (or number).
The series column in Calibre Library becomes "
SeriesName[1]"
After I send the books into my Kobo Forma, and info of the new sent books in Kobo device will be:
Code:
01 - title
SeriesName - 1
author
the title is renamed as "
01 - title", and series info becomes "
SeriesName - 1"
For a long time, I'll replug my device and use "
Koboutilies->Update Metadata in Device Library" to update the metadata into the device, so the title in the device will be the same as the title in Calibre Library.
This works OK, but recently the titles of a lot(hundreds) of books in my device library keep becoming "
01 - title", I have to select all the books in my device and repeat the "
Koboutilies->Update Metadata in Device Library" step, and it always has hundreds of books been updated because of this step, recently I found "
Preference->Metadata plugboards" and I set the source template for epub to "
{title}", deleting the "
series_index" part in it, it seems working so far, still checking if it is the solution which the title of the new sent books in device library will always be the same as the title in Calibre Library.
If it is, please let me know.
Another thing is, I don't know what the purpose of the series_index is, and is it able to disable the series_index completely, meaning do not show series_index in the series column in Calibre Library and do not show it in the device library?
