Bulk or batch epub merge
I have been using the plugin to collate series and it has worked great so far!
I was wondering if there is a better way to merge different series into different anthologies all at once, as in selecting books A,B,C to anthology 1 and books D,E,F to anthology 2 in one step.
I just wanted to ask in case someone knew, it would really make it less of a hassle to merge lots of series quickly.
Additional info:
When I do this currently, I use the search
series:true OR comment:"Anthology containing:"
so I tell which anthologies I have already created. However, each time I merge a new series, I get sent back to the top of the list and have to resort by author to get back to where I left off.
I thought of three ways I could sort of accomplish this:
1. somehow ignore the epub merge dialog box and go back to calibre to select more books to merge before approving all the jobs later (is this possible?)
2. pause all jobs so that epub merge does not start until I finish queuing up each job (not possible according to a won't fix bug report)
3. figure out how to automate merging series automatically (learn how to write a plugin or script)
I know the easiest way to fix this "problem" is start using fanficfare and allow that to manage everything, but I didn't want to go back and redownload the thousands of stories I already had. And thus I have been doing things manually.
