In the anthology I mentioned, there are three editors whose role under <dc:creator> is listed as "edt". Let's say I changed the author in the filename to XYZ.

If I add this to Calibre 4.23, the author is read from the filename and listed in library as XYZ, although in Preferences->Adding books "Read metadata from file contents rather than file name" is checked.

If I add the same ebook to Calibre 5.44, with the same setting checked, the author is read from file contents (OPF), as it should be, and all three editors are correctly listed as authors in library view.

I don't understand why is "edt" deemed unsuitable as a role in Calibre 4.23, but suitable in Calibre 5.44 - what changed?

I'd also like to know which roles (other than "aut") Calibre will recognize as suitable for authors.
