Hey all, sorry if this question has been answered already - I've looked all over but haven't been able to find something dumbed down enough to meet my needs
I have over 400 ebooks in my calibre library, and I've decided to start adding "empty" entries for my physical and audiobooks as well, so I can see my whole library at a glance. I'd like to add the format column to the main page so I can tell if the book is indeed an ebook and in what format I have it.
I have not yet added any books other than ebooks to my calibre library, but the format column is still empty for most. When I attempt to edit the metadata and input the format, calibre opens a file explorer window and asks me to open... something. What is it I'm trying to open here that will provide the correct format information to the format column?
As you can tell, I'm by no means a power-user, but calibre is such a useful tool I'd love to get more familiar with how it works. If anyone has advice on this or other neat sorting/storing non-ebook ideas, I'd love to hear them.
